Kichijoji에 대한 자주 묻는 질문

Why is Kichijoji so popular?

Kichijoji combines the best of central Tokyo (rail access, restaurants, shopping) with green space and a friendly, walkable neighborhood feel. It has been voted the most liveable area in Tokyo in repeated Japanese resident surveys.

Is Kichijoji actually inside Tokyo's 23 wards?

No — it's in Musashino city, which is part of Tokyo Metropolis but not one of the 23 special wards. In practice, it functions as a Tokyo neighborhood and is just 15 minutes from Shinjuku on the JR Chuo line.
