Fuchu City Tourism Information Center
This tourist information center is close to Okunitama-jinja Shrine. A staff member is always there who is knowledgeable about tourist sites in Fuchu City to answer questions. The service is only in Japanese but sightseeing maps in English are there. Stop by before you explore Fuchu.
It's right next to Okunitama-jinja Shrine, and there are plenty of free tourist brochures you can pick up. There's also a cute mascot that seems to represent Fuchu City. ☺️

Okunitama-jinja Shrine
Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. Among those, the shrine blessing love and marriage is especially well-known.
There was a festival going on when I visited, and the atmosphere was super lively.
Compared to Meiji Jingu, Okunitama-jinja feels more local because of its location, so you see a lot more people from the area.
Everyone was really sincere in their prayers, which made it feel warm and welcoming. -
