explanation: Situated in the western suburb of Tokyo and the entry point to Kanto plain, Hochioji had developed as a castle and post town during the middle ages. The textile industry which developed during Edo period remains still active but the electrical appliance industry and food processing are now growing in importance. Recently many houses have been built for the people who go to work to Tokyo from there. There exist many tourist sites such as Mt Takao. The population is 520,000.
