The novel ``The Heritage of the Sun'', which is set in Inagi City's Tama Fire Arsenal (currently the Tama Service Auxiliary Facility), has been made into a film and released nationwide in August 2011.
This work was written when the original author, Jiro Asada, lived in Inagi City, and Musashi-Kodama City, which appears in the work, was modeled after Inagi City. Also, many scenery reminiscent of Inagi City will appear.
The DVD of this work is available for sale and rental, so please take a look.
