The Tama Area, located on the west side of Tokyo, is home to suburban areas as well as rich natural spots surrounded by mountains and rivers.

This area is perfect for enjoying quintessential Tokyo sightseeing activities, such as shopping at classic department stores, eating sushi at the Tsukiji Outer Market, and catching a performance at the Kabukiza Theatre.

The area also offers a range of other enjoyable options, including taking in a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome, wandering the streets of the Jimbocho used-bookstore district in Kanda, and tasting the fare at izakaya bars in the nightlife district in Shimbashi.
