2. Near Tanashichō
The western suburbs of Tokyo go on and on, and Nishitokyo, Kiyose and the old town of Tanashi sit in the middle of them: a quiet, flat, residential belt of low houses, apartment blocks, train stations and shopping streets, about twenty kilometres from the centre. Nishitokyo was formed in 2001 when Tanashi and Hoya merged, and its tallest landmark is a slim tower that carries broadcasting and observation equipment, visible from far away.
