TUFS is located in an area with a lot of nature and natural beauty.? Right behind the campus are many sports fields used mostly on the weekends by local groups.? Also, there is a small but fun park called Musashino-no-Mori Koen.? The Fuchu Municipal Government recently expanded its size and added a lake.? Walking past this park, you will quickly reach the side entrance to Nogawa Park, which is very large and well-known on this side of Tokyo.? The park has walking trails, tennis courts, and a practice area, and other facilities, and is always full of people having picnics or other sort of fun when the weather is good.? Either by walking past the part or through the park, you can reach Nogawa River, which is very pleasant to walk or jog along.? There is even an old waterwheel.
Other possible attractions around campus include Ajinomoto Stadium for sporting events and concerts, Fuchu Art Museum and Community Center (housing a swimming pool, gym, athletic facilities, tennis courts, etc.) by Higashi-Fuchu Station (10 minutes by bike from TUFS), Tama Zoo (30 minutes on train) and Mount Takao (about 1 hour on train).
