History of Kugayama
The area around Mt. Kuga is said to have been a peaceful farming village during the Edo period.
It was after the Great Kanto Earthquake that it began to prosper as a residential area.
Due to the population flow from the city center due to the earthquake, the area was gradually completed as a residential area.
In 1930, the Keio Inokashira Line was opened, making access to the city center smoother.
The population gradually increased and it developed as a commuter town on the outskirts of the city.
