The city's origins date back to the late 1930s when neighboring towns merged due to the establishment of a Japanese army camp. Since 1955, Sagamihara has developed industrially, with a wide range of sectors from metal production to electrical appliances, making it a key residential suburb connected to the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan corridor via a well-established rail network.
While Sagamihara's urban landscape is filled with vitality, its natural allure captivates visitors and locals alike. Lake Sagami is an artificial lake that stands as a beacon of recreation, attracting rowing and canoeing enthusiasts to its peaceful waters. Encircled by lush forests that change with each season, the lake offers a range of experiences, from lively fireworks displays to the peaceful art of Japanese pond-smelt fishing. The lake is also in close proximity to the popular theme park Sagamiko Resort Pleasure Forest, which is home to rides, climbing courses, a campsite, and spectacular illumination events!
Adding to its charm, Sagamihara hosts a unique attraction, the Vending Machine Park. A testament to Japan's prevalent vending culture, this park features around 100 retro-style vending machines on a spacious porch and indoor corridor, offering a delightful exploration of convenience and innovation.
