From Wikitravel

Kunitachi (国立) is a city in Tokyo prefecture. The naming of Kunitachi comes from its location: sandwiched between Kokubunji City (国分寺) and Tachikawa City (立川), the first kanji in each city was combined, making it Kunitachi (国立). Kunitachi is known for its posh, high class neighborhood, and for its many schools. There are many public and private schools and a university (Hitotsubashi University).

[edit] Get in

Kunitachi has 3 train stations. Kunitachi Station of JR Chuo Line, Yaho (谷保) and Yagawa (矢川) Station of JR Nambu Line. From Shinjuku, you can take the JR Chuo line to Kunitachi Station (about 35 minutes. if on the express train, change to local train at Kokubunji Station). You can also take Keio Line from Shinjuku to Bubaigawara, then change to JR Nambu Line (towards Tachikawa direction) for Yaho Station (The trip costs 400 yen and about 25 minutes).

[edit] Get around

It's not a big city, so walking around is the best. Take the South Exit of Kunitachi Station, and explore Daigaku dori (University Avenue).
