Kunitachi - Kunitachi

Japanese: 国立[市] - くにたち

A city in central Tokyo. It was incorporated as a city in 1967. The city's name comes from its location halfway between Kokubunji and Tachikawa. It is located in the southwestern part of the Musashino Plateau, with the Tama River flowing along its southwestern border. The Chuo Line runs through the city to the north, and the Nambu Line and Chuo Expressway run through the city to the south. It was once a farming village on the outskirts of Tokyo, but after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was developed into a university town and suburban residential area when Hitotsubashi University moved there. An orderly urban area was formed around Kunitachi Station, and the area around Hitotsubashi University was designated an educational district in 1952. It has an area of 8.15 ^km2 and a population of 75,510 (2010).

東京都中部の市。1967年市制。市名は国分寺・立川の中間にあることに由来。武蔵野台地の南西部に位置し，南西境を多摩川が流れる。北部に中央線，南部に南武線，中央自動車道が通じる。かつては東京近郊の一農村であったが，関東大震災後一橋大学が進出したのを契機に学園都市，郊外住宅地として開発されて発展した。国立駅を中心に整然たる市街地が形成され，一橋大学周辺一帯が1952年文教地区に指定された。8.15km²。７万5510人（2010）。
