Around 6:55 AM on the 8th, a nearby resident reported to emergency services that “flames and smoke could be seen coming from a building” in Yanokuchi. According to police and fire department officials, a two-story house was completely burned down, and two bodies were found. The fire was extinguished at 9:20 AM.
According to the Tama Chuo Police Station, there is information that two women, believed to be residents in their 50s and 80s, are unaccounted for. The police are working to identify the bodies and are investigating the cause of the fire.
Yanokuchi
I’m unable to find any specific, verifiable information on a notable place or cultural site named “Yanokuchi.” It is possible the name refers to a local neighborhood (there is a Yanokuchi area in Inagi City, Tokyo) or a lesser-known location, but it does not correspond to a widely recognized historical or cultural landmark with documented public history.
Tama Chuo Police Station
The Tama Chuo Police Station is a modern police facility serving the Tama area in western Tokyo, Japan. It was established to support the region’s growth following the development of Tama New Town, a major residential project that began in the 1960s, and it continues to provide public safety services to the community today.
