Hamura, Urban settlement in western Tokyo, Japan.

The Tama River flows through this 9.9-square-kilometer city, featuring residential districts, industrial zones, and numerous green spaces within Tokyo Metropolis.

Founded in 1889 as Nishitama Village, Hamura received its city status in 1991 after substantial growth and administrative reorganization.

The Hamura Tulip Festival presents 400,000 tulips from 60 varieties each April, reflecting the city's connection with nature and seasonal celebrations.

The JR East Ome Line connects Hamura to central Tokyo, while National Route 16 provides direct road access to neighboring municipalities.

The Tamagawa Brothers engineered a 43-kilometer freshwater canal during the Edo period, which remains central to the city's water infrastructure.
