What is the Tama Islands Region?

Tama area

Located on the west side of Tokyo's 23 wards, it is composed of 30 municipalities, and is an area where you can take the best of both worlds: a natural environment full of greenery, a fulfilling child-rearing and educational environment, and the convenience of the city.
Even within the Tama area, each region has its own unique characteristics. Whether you prefer living surrounded by lush, high-quality nature or in a location with excellent access to the city center, it's possible to realize a fulfilling lifestyle that suits everyone's desires.
