  • Lake Okutama
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Nishitamagunokutamamachi Hara
    Lake Okutama is an important source of water for Tokyo, providing around 20% of the water used by Tokyo’s inhabitants. The Lake is a man-made reservoir straddling the boundary between Okutama Town, Nishitama District, Tokyo, and Tabayama Village, Kitatsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture; its official name is Ogochi Reservoir. Lake Okutama is surrounded by mountains, and has beautiful scenery in all seasons: cherry blossom in spring, verdant greenery in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and spectacular snowscapes in winter. There are two pedestrian pontoon bridges, colloquially known as “steel drum bridges,” which are one of the most famous tourist sights in the Okutama area. Originally, actual steel drums were used for the bridge construction, but these have since been replaced with plastic pontoons.

    Tokyo Higashiyamatoshi Tamako 1
    This reservoir is a five-minute walk from Seibu-Yuenchi Station on the Seibu Tamako Line. Completed in 1927, it's important historically. Popularly known as Lake Tama, Murayama Reservoir is considered a symbol of Higashi-Yamato City and is both one of the 100 Views of New Tokyo and one of the 20 Views of Higashi-Yamato. Care is taken with the surrounding natural environment and ecosystem considering its role in headwater conservation. It's next to Sayama Lake, and as there are numerous green zones in the area, it's a popular spot with families who come to have fun while getting in touch with nature. In addition to the intake tower with domed roof and arch windows deemed the most beautiful of its kind in Japan, it's also a good spot to enjoy the sunset, moonset, and views of crimson-dyed Mt. Fuji at sundown, as well as the cherry blossoms in spring.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
