Tokorozawa extends across 72 square kilometers of the Musashino plateau, featuring residential neighborhoods connected by the Seibu railway line network.

The area transformed from an agricultural trading center during the Tokugawa period into Japan's first aviation base site in 1911, marking the beginning of Japanese aviation history.

The Kadokawa Culture Museum maintains a collection of 37,000 manga volumes and hosts contemporary art exhibitions in its extensive Grand Gallery space.

The city provides direct train connections to central Tokyo, with services departing from multiple stations including JR Higashi Tokorozawa and Tokorozawa Station.

Lake Sayama, constructed in 1934 within the Sayama Hills, supplies water resources while supporting the production of regional Sayama green tea.
