AND CULTURAL SITES
Tokyo’s southern reaches open into the diverse and welcoming region of Minami-Tama, where lush nature, residential calm, and cultural gems coexist just beyond the city center. This area includes the Hachioji and Tama cities, each offering a distinct glimpse into everyday life on Tokyo’s edge.
Beloved by nature lovers, Minami-Tama draws hikers and photographers year-round and is home to Yomiuri Land—famous for its dazzling evening light shows and one of West Tokyo’s most visited attractions, and the popular family-friendly sites, Sanrio Puroland and Fantasy Kids Resort Tama.
Whether you’re strolling through suburban parks, climbing forested slopes, or ending the day in an illuminated wonderland, Minami-Tama’s gentle landscapes offer a refreshing mix of greenery and charm, proving that Tokyo’s outskirts have just as much heart and character as its center.
