Tsuru, College town in Yamanashi, Japan
Tsuru spreads across 161 square kilometers at the foothills of Mount Fuji, with the Sagami River flowing through its valley landscapes.
The region, controlled by the Takeda clan during the Sengoku period, transformed from Tani village into Tsuru city on April 29, 1954.
The city maintains educational traditions through Tsuru University, established in 1953, which hosts international exchange programs with the University of California.
Transportation needs are served by the Fuji Kyuko-Otsuki railway line and the Chuo Expressway, connecting residents to major urban centers.
The Yamanashi Prefectural Maglev Exhibition Center presents advanced transportation technology, focusing on developments in magnetic levitation trains.
