Inagi
稲城市
Skip Inagi unless you have a specific reason: Yomiuri Land or the onsen. Half a day is enough; it's a 30–40 min train from central Tokyo.
Inagi is a quiet Tokyo suburb with two draws: Yomiuri Land, a mid-sized amusement park, and Toki-no-irodori, a natural onsen with a rock bath. Neither is a must-see, but if you live in western Tokyo or have kids, a half-day trip works. The city itself is residential, with no historic core or nightlife.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: A small bow; a handshake if the other person offers; avoid: Hugs, back slaps, loud greetings
- Names: Family name plus -san; avoid: First names unless invited; adding -san to your own name
- Paying: Put money in the tray at the register; avoid: Tipping, or leaving loose cash for staff
- Trains: Queue at the floor marks, phone on silent, ask before reclining on the Shinkansen; avoid: Phone calls, eating on crowded commuter trains, blocking doors with bags
- Escalators: Stand on the side locals use — left in Tokyo, right in Osaka; stations now ask people to stand still on both; avoid: Stopping at the top or bottom
- Shoes: Off at the step-up entrance; toilet slippers only inside the toilet; avoid: Stepping on tatami in shoes or slippers
- Shrines: Rinse hands at the basin; bow twice, clap twice, bow once; avoid: Walking down the centre of the approach, which is for the deity
- Gifts: Offer and receive with both hands; bring a small omiyage for hosts; avoid: Sets of four; cash outside an envelope
Scams and watch-outs
- Yomiuri Land has seasonal hours and may close on weekdays in winter: check the official site.
- Toki-no-irodori closes at 01:00 (last entry 00:00); no overnight stay.
- Inagi has very few restaurants open late; eat before 20:00.
Inagi is a safe residential suburb. The main risk is the heat in summer; carry water. No nightlife issues.
