| | Metropolis - Art: Faret Tachikawa (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Tachikawa City, a major hub on the west end of the Chuo line, thinks public art should be accessible and fun, not monumental and alienating. |
 | | After Tachikawa's US Army base was decommissioned in the late '70s, the Urban Development Corporation, a government joint venture, took over the huge site and began planning a progressive urban landscape. |
 | | Maps are available in Tachikawa station, 1F (near the koban), at the Tachikawa City Office, or at the city library inside Faret Tachikawa. |
