Tachikawa

Among Tokyo’s cities, Tachikawa stands out for Showa Kinen Park, a vast public park created on the former Tachikawa Air Base. West of central Tokyo and north of the Tama River, the city has long served as a transport and commercial centre for the Tama area. The park opened in 1983 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emperor Shōwa’s reign, and its lawns, woodland and seasonal flower displays bring uncommon openness to this urban district. Tachikawa Station is a major rail interchange, while the Tama Monorail connects the city with communities to the south.
