Tips

culture
武藏 (Wǔcáng / Japanese: Musashi) is the old name of the province covering modern Tokyo, Saitama and parts of Kanagawa — the same name that famous swordsman 宫本武藏 (Gōngběn Wǔcáng, Miyamoto Musashi) carries. 台 (tái, Japanese: -dai) is a common Japanese place-name suffix meaning 'plateau / heights'. So Musashidai = 'Musashi Heights'.
usage
Borrowed straight from Japanese kanji rather than transliterated: each character is read with its Mandarin reading. Same pattern in 北海道 (Běihǎidào, 'Hokkaidō') and 东京 (Dōngjīng, 'Tokyo').
