羽村市
Hamura offers an introduction to the Tama River and Tokyo’s water story. Begin at permitted areas near the intake weir or explore local life at the museum.
This guide covers places within Hamura, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

羽村市郷土博物館
Exhibitions explain life alongside the Tama River and management of its water supply. Plan it as a separate stop to understand the waterside setting. Official access guidance says the museum’s Hamuran bus service does not operate on weekends, public holidays or year-end/New Year days from April 2026; check alternative transport.
