A new travel guide titled “Chikyu no Arukikata Machida City” is in development, with organizers currently soliciting local information and “insider” tips to include in the publication. According to the regional information site Kawariyuku-Machida, the project is being carried out with cooperation from local government authorities to ensure a comprehensive guide to the city.
Local Contributions and Government Cooperation
The production team is actively seeking “local material” from residents and visitors to populate the guide.

Did You Know? The project involves a partnership between the “Chikyu no Arukikata” brand and local government entities to document the city’s unique layout and attractions.
Documenting a Changing Urban Landscape
The initiative coincides with significant shifts in Machida’s commercial and infrastructure landscape. Data from Kawariyuku-Machida tracks a high volume of urban change, including 2,743 recorded store openings and 1,389 closures. These updates span various sectors, from the high frequency of restaurant turnover to the evolution of the city’s transport networks.
Transportation remains a focal point of the city’s identity. Records indicate extensive activity regarding bus route changes, including the operation of “Twin Liner” articulated buses and various adjustments to Kanagawa Chuo Kotsu and Odakyu Bus services. The city also manages ongoing urban planning, such as the development of city planning roads and railway projects like the Odakyu Tama Line extension plan.
