Tama Hills (多摩丘陵, Tama-kyūryō) is an area of hills stretching across southwest Tokyo[1] and northeast Kanagawa Prefecture in the Kantō Plain on Honshū, Japan.
The area is dotted with remains of Jōmon period hunter-gatherer settlements.
The area had been developed extensively since the 1950s to support demand for housing around rapidly expanding Tokyo and Yokohama.
Some fairly large areas of forests still exist in places.
The build-up of the area is a key plot element to the Studio Ghibli film Pom Poko.
