I was recently in Kokubunji and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. There seems to be a lot of depth of restaurants, including cool local spots, and the nature around the old falconry trail was quite beautiful. Meanwhile I’ve also been to Shin-Yurigaoka recently and it just felt like hilly houses around giant malls.
Who has other votes for favorite and least favorite Tokyo area suburbs? Any votes of yes/no confidence for places like Fuchu, Tama, Tokorozawa, Koshigaya, Matsudo, etc? Greenery, things to do, culture, festivals, comfortable living- whatever criteria you like!
