When you think of Tokyo, what comes to mind?
Maybe it’s the neon lights of Shinjuku, the busy crossings of Shibuya, or the ancient charm of Asakusa.
But there’s another Tokyo—calmer, greener, and more livable.
Welcome to Tachikawa, a city just 30 minutes from Shinjuku, yet worlds away in atmosphere.
🌳 More Space, More Nature, More Breath
Tachikawa is known for its wide open spaces.
One of its highlights is Showa Kinen Park, a massive national park where you can:
- Walk or bike through seasonal flower gardens
- Have a picnic under cherry blossoms
- Watch ducks by the lake
- Even try traditional Japanese games during festivals
It’s the kind of place where locals relax—and visitors feel at peace.
🛍️ City Life Without the Stress
Tachikawa isn’t just quiet—it’s convenient.
The station area is full of shopping malls, restaurants, and cafes, but without the overwhelming crowds.
You can enjoy:
- Local izakaya with friendly staff
- Stylish cafes with space to sit and think
- Farmers markets and small boutiques
It’s Tokyo life, just a little slower—and more personal.
🧭 Easy to Explore, Hard to Forget
Tachikawa is also a perfect starting point for deeper adventures:
- Just 40 minutes to Mt. Mitake and the Tama River
- Direct trains to Hachioji, Kawagoe, or even the Fuji Five Lakes
- On the way to real countryside—perfect for slow travel
You can even join a GreenNest local tour starting from Tachikawa Station and see places most travelers miss.
