Chofu - The City of Cinema and Water

This time we visit Chofu, a suburban area rich in nature located about 15 minutes west of Shinjuku. Known as a movie town, it's home to film studios and many other related businesses. As we explore, we learn from industry veterans about the Golden Age of Japanese cinema. We also discover how Chofu's geography and abundant natural water supply shaped the city's history. Later, we visit a major temple and get a taste of a local specialty: soba (buckwheat) noodles.
