Machida ( Japanese 町 田 市 , - shi ) is a city in Tokyo Prefecture .
In addition to extensive residential areas, the city also has hills and large parks , botanical gardens and some agriculture with rice terraces. Machida is home to many of the commuters who travel to central Tokyo for work every day. As fewer and fewer families can afford to buy a house in the Tokyo metropolitan area, they move to Machida, which made Machida grow faster and faster. Some of the city's recreational areas are Nozuta Park, Dahlia Garden, Botan Park, and Yakushi-Ike Park.
