Hi, I’m Tabi!

Musashimurayama in western Tokyo offers Sayama Hills woodland and rural scenery. Choose the Satoyama Minka area or local museum first, checking destination-specific buses.

This guide covers places within Musashimurayama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

A first-visit stop

Satoyama Minka area

里山民家エリア

Explore rural life among fields, woods and a traditional-house area. The photograph shows harvested fields in November 2009, rather than the house itself. This is the Musashimurayama section of the wider metropolitan park.

Getting there
Check destination-specific buses from nearby Tachikawa or Higashiyamatoshi stations

02

A first-visit stop

History and Folklore Museum

歴史民俗資料館

A municipal museum of local nature, history and everyday tools. Connect the landscape with earlier ways of life, checking exhibitions, closed days and transport separately from Satoyama Minka.

Getting there
Check destination-specific buses from nearby Tachikawa or Higashiyamatoshi stations

03

A first-visit stop

Municipal Noyamakita Park

市立野山北公園

A municipal park around wooded foothills and ponds, distinct from the broader metropolitan park. Spring dogtooth violets are seasonal rather than an autumn feature.

Getting there
Check destination-specific buses from nearby Tachikawa or Higashiyamatoshi stations

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Murayama kate udon pairs rinsed local-wheat noodles with warm soy-flavored dipping broth and sides such as boiled vegetables. Broth may contain meat; check ingredients and availability.
