04 / 07
How many days should I plan for a stay in Tachikawa?
Two to three days is usually enough for a comfortable first stay if you want time for meals, neighborhood walks, and easy day trips. A longer stay works well if you are combining work, errands, or a slower pace.

An apartment-style stay can be especially useful for a longer visit because you have space to spread out and settle in.
