Ramen in Tachikawa & Hachioji

Tachikawa and Hachioji are at the western end of the Chuo Line, about 30–50 minutes from Shinjuku. Tachikawa has Showa Kinen Park; Mt. Takao is reached from Hachioji on the Keio Line.

This is the home of Hachioji ramen — clear soy broth with chopped onion — plus a duck-broth shop, a frigate-mackerel broth shop and tsukemen under a pastry crust.
