By WALK JAPAN
In this beautiful 4K HDR walking video, the channel WALK JAPAN takes us on a scenic tour through Fuchu City, located in western Tokyo. Starting from the South Exit of Fuchū Station on the Keio Line, the video offers a peaceful stroll rich with cultural and historical landmarks. The moderate spring weather — 19.9°C (67.8°F), 35% humidity, and a gentle breeze — sets the perfect backdrop for exploring this lesser-known Tokyo gem.
One of the key highlights is Okunitama Jinja (大國魂神社), a significant Shinto shrine with ancient roots in the region's spiritual heritage. A short walk away is Zenmyō-ji, a serene Buddhist temple offering viewers a peek into local religious traditions. As the walk continues, you'll pass by Fuchūhommachi Station and encounter more historical sites including Myokoin and Anyoji temples.
The tour also includes a visit to the Tokyo Racecourse, a major horse racing venue that adds a dynamic contrast to the otherwise tranquil streets and temples. Later, you’ll meander through Sanbongi Park and Fuchu Park—green oases perfect for relaxation and seasonal hanami (cherry blossom viewing). The walk wraps up on the North Exit of Fuchū Station, completing a comprehensive hour-and-fifty-minute journey through the city.
Fuchu is often overlooked by tourists, but this video reveals its layered charm and accessibility. Whether you’re planning a visit for the shrines or taking a relaxing walk, this video serves as a virtual tour with a local feel.

Each of these stops contributes to the impression that Fuchu is a diverse destination blending history, green spaces, and modern amenities.
