Matsugaya 松が谷 "Valley of Pine Trees", district in Taito

There is also a Machigaya district in 東京都八王子市 Hachioji City.
Matsugaya Station (松が谷駅, Matsugaya-eki) is a station on the Tama Toshi Monorail Line in Hachiōji, Tokyo. The station serves the Kashima and Matsugaya areas of Tama New Town, running above Tokyo Metropolitan Route 156.
There are few shops or municipal facilities nearby, only homes and apartment buildings; the station surroundings are therefore very quiet. Two parks and several schools are also nearby.
