Machida

Machida extends across 71 square kilometers of land with a combination of residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and educational institutions in the Tama Hills.

The transformation from a traditional village to an official city occurred on February 1, 1958, marking a significant shift in its administrative status.

The city maintains multiple universities, including J.F. Oberlin University, Kokushikan University, and Tamagawa University, contributing to its academic environment.

The transportation network includes multiple train lines and bus routes that connect different sections of the city to central Tokyo and neighboring regions.

The geographical position of Machida creates stronger connections with Kanagawa Prefecture than with Tokyo, despite belonging administratively to Tokyo Metropolis.
