Kichijoji expanded as a suburban retreat in the Taisho and early Showa eras; Inokashira Park was donated to the city in 1917 and shaped local leisure culture.
Conservation
Respect pond ecology by not feeding wildlife; many small businesses in Kichijoji are family-run—minimize waste and prefer cashless only when the vendor supports it.
