Chuo Line Travel Guide
Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see
The JR Chuo Line has led or accompanied urban sprawl west from Shinjuku to Tachikawa and even on to Hachioji. Local trains run every 3-5 minutes; there are less frequent but faster trains that stop at fewer stations.
Tachikawa is considered a rural city by people who live in the central 23 wards of Tokyo, but it is a proper city. Nightlife and "pink businesses" are east and south of the station; the major department stores like Isetan are to the north. It has few attractions for the visitor, other than Showa Kinen Koen, a large park that was a US military base; it has a pond, bike paths, a water park, and all kinds of flora.
