Fuchu Onsen Tokyo

Fuchu, in the central western part of Tokyo Metropolis, is home to Tokyo Racecourse — Japan's most prestigious thoroughbred racing track hosting the Japan Cup and Tenno-sho races — and the ancient Okunitama Shrine, one of the six 'great shrines' of Japan enshrined in the National Fudoki provincial records, whose thousand-year zelkova avenue creates one of Tokyo's most magnificent ceremonial approaches. Fuchu Onsen Tokyo draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from the geological resources of the central western Tokyo plain, providing restorative baths in a city of deep historical significance whose ancient shrine heritage, Japan's most prestigious horse racing culture, and the Suntory Tokyo Brewery create a richly layered destination for thermal spa visitors in western Tokyo. The Tokyo Racecourse's Japan Cup and major race days, the Okunitama Shrine's magnificent zelkova tree avenue and Kurauma festival, and the expansive Fuchu Nature Forest park preserve create an outstandingly varied and historically rich spa destination in the culturally significant centre of western Tokyo Metropolis.
