Nishitokyo

Nishitokyo spans 15.75 square kilometers across the Musashino Terrace region, with the Shakujii River and Tamagawa Josui River providing water resources to 206,047 residents.

The formation of Nishitokyo occurred on January 21, 2001, when the municipalities of Hoya and Tanashi merged into a single administrative entity within Tokyo Metropolis.

The Tanashi Shrine, dating from the 13th century, hosts the annual Yaoyorozu no Sanpoichi market in May, featuring local artisans, musicians, and traditional food vendors.

The city operates a multilingual information system available in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, publishing monthly newsletters and providing guidance for waste management procedures.

The Tanashi Tower functions as a weather forecasting system through its illumination patterns, displaying different colors to indicate the following day's weather conditions.
