In Fiction
- The Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart is set in Tama New Town. Many places near Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Station appear in the film, although the area is depicted as more developed than it was when the film was made.
- Pom Poko, another Ghibli film, depicts the expansion of the New Town from the eyes of tanuki (raccoon dogs) and their attempts to stop it.
