Higashikurume, Residential city in western Tokyo, Japan

Located on the Musashino Terrace, Higashikurume extends over 12.88 square kilometers with the Kurome River flowing through its western section.

The region transformed from Kurume Village in Kitatama District of Kanagawa Prefecture to an independent city in Tokyo Prefecture by October 1970.

Chikurin Park features two thousand bamboo trees along walking trails and natural spring water streams, representing local garden traditions.

The Seibu Ikebukuro Line connects residents to central Tokyo, with many choosing to commute to the special wards for work.

The city maintains three major natural spaces - Chikurin, Hakusan, and Rokusen parks - each featuring distinct water elements and vegetation patterns.
