    Tokyo Oumeshi Mitakesan 176
    This shrine located on the top of Mt. Mitake (also known as Musashi Mitakesan) in Ome City flourished as a sacred place for mountain worship. It is reported to have been established in 91 BC. In addition to the former honden (main shrine), which was designated a Tangible Cultural Property by the Tokyo metropolitan government, the current honden in shinmei-zukuri style (a style of shrine architecture based on that of Ise Jingu), and the haiden (hall of worship) in gongen-zukuri style (a style of Shinto architecture in which the main hall and worship hall share one roof), visitors can see the “Akaito Odoshi Oyoroi (odoshi armor with red strings),” which is a National Treasure, in the Homotsuden (treasure house). A grand kagura performance that is open to the public is held every year on the third Sunday in June and on the Senior Citizen’s Day in September. Since Musashi-Mitake Jinja enshrines a white wolf in the form of an “oinusama” (sacred dog), there have been increasing numbers of worshippers who come to pray for their beloved dogs’ health, and the shrine accepts requests for prayers on behalf of pet dogs.

    Tokyo Oumeshi Shiobune 194
    A Shingon Daigo Buddhist temple located in Shiobune, Ome City, Tokyo. The temple is said to have been founded by the mythical 800 year old nun Yao Bikuni during the Taika era (645-650). The temple's principal object of worship is an 11 faced, 1,000 armed, 1,000 eyed figure of Avalokitesvara. Bigleaf hydrangeas, lilies, Japanese clover, red spider lilies, and other plants bloom seasonally on the temple's grounds. An azalea festival is held at the temple in spring when the azaleas come into full bloom.

    Beautiful azalea if you time it right. We went on April 24 2023 and it was a bit passed full bloom, but still over 50% blooming and not terribly crowded. There is a nice hiking path nearby which is...

    A day trip hot spring bath facility opened in 1996 in Hinode Town, Nishitama County, Tokyo. “Tsurutsuru” means ‘smooth’ in Japanese, and just as its name implies, the highly alkaline waters of the facility’s baths, drawn from 1,500 meters below the ground, will make your skin noticeably smoother. In the bathhouse’s spacious, 108 tatami mat-sized “panorama” restaurant, sunlight filters in between the trees outdoors through large windows; here you can enjoy a set which comes with Akigawa beef served on a Japanese hackberry leaf or Masakado nabe hotpot with Ome pork.

    A day-trip hot spring where visitors can enjoy 100% hot spring water drawn from the source of Okutama Onsen welling up from the paleozoic layer, believed to be the oldest strata in the Japanese archipelago. The hot spring has an indoor bath, a foot bath, and an open-air bath. From the window of the indoor bath and from the bath outside visitors can look out over the mountains and trees of Okutama and the clear waters of the Tamagawa River. There is also a restaurant where visitors can get some unique Okutama dishes, such as Okutama nekkara (very spicy) udon and soba, and salt-grilled river fish, making it a great place to relax and enjoy all day long.

  • 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.

    Hinohara Tokyo Citizens’ Forest is located on the lower slopes of Mt. Mito, the tallest of the “Three Mountains of Okutama.” The Forest is a water source protection forest, and is ranked as one of Japan’s “Top 100 Finest Water Source Protection Forests.” There are several hiking trails within the Forest, one of which, “Otaki no Michi” (Waterfall Route Course) was designated as the first “Forest Therapy Trail” in Tokyo; with a packed woodchip surface, the trail is very easy to walk on. The restaurant located within the Forest grounds is the highest restaurant in Tokyo.

    行政的には東京都ですが、初めて来たらとても東京都とは思えません。バス便のある最寄り駅がJR五日市線の武蔵五日市ですが、都民の森まで小一時間かかる上に便数も多くありません。車やバイク、自転車で訪れる人も多く週末は賑わいます。三頭山登山の拠点でもありますが、体力に合わせて手軽なウォーキングも可能です。1000mくらいの高さにありますので、下界より随分涼しいです。

    At the Okutama Mizu-to-Midori-no-Fureaikan visitors can learn in an easy to understand way about the importance of water and nature, history of Okutama and the structure of dams. Visitors can learn from not only images and exhibitions but also by experience. There is also the Katakuri no Hana restaurant with a panoramic view overlooking Lake Okutama and the natural scenery from the windows, where guests can taste the regional cuisine of Okutama.

    入場料が無料だし、「社会見学」として、良い「奥多摩水と緑のふれあい館」だと思います。 「小河内ダム」の歴史はもちろん、「水」や「自然、緑」の重要性をわかりやすく紹介しています。とても勉強になると思いますよ。特に、子供連れの家族にお勧めかな。 ちなみに、館内に、「ダムカレー」のレストランも併設されています。お勧めです。

The waters of the bathhouse' alkaline spring are said to ease muscle soreness and aid in the recovery from fatigue; slippery to the touch, they are also believed to beautify the skin. Facilities include a hinoki cypress tub constantly replenished ""kakenagashi"" style from the source spring, an elegant rock bath, wooden trellis bath, and lie down bath, and customers can enjoy a relaxing soak which will warm them to the very core. There's also an aroma beauty sauna, aesthetic bath, and body care and eyelash extension center."

    This small zoo opened in 1978 as Japan’s first town-managed zoo, and it’s located about 20 minutes from Hamura Station. The zoo keeps a variety of animals including the popular lesser pandas, giraffes, ostriches, and meerkats. The appeal to the zoo is the fact that it is a small-scale park with an at–home ambience featuring the “Doki-doki Hands-On” area where visitors can pet chicks and guinea pigs and the “Nakayoshi Dobutsu Park” with a fairytale theme where guests can feed goats and miniature pigs. It also has a grassy lawn and a steam locomotive on display, making it a perfect place to picnic and spend a relaxing day.

    A Japanese garden next to Okutama's Ozawa Shuzo brewery that's been making sake since 1702. On the banks of the Tama River, there's a gift shop selling sake from Sawanoi, wasabi pickles, and popular sake manju buns. They're handmade on-site and are small enough to make great gifts. There's also a food court where you can buy light fare like udon, soba, and stewed oden. Looking down on the Tama River, many visitors stop by for a break while hiking the nature of the Mitake Valley.

    A truly magical location to get away from the mega city feeling of Tokyo and soak in some awesome nature with a stunning view of the river and nearby hills. The garden is out of a fairytale! I’d...

    An art museum located in Mitake, Ome City, Tokyo, where Gyokudo Kawai, the great master of Japanese painting in modern times, lived. Exhibitions change seven times throughout the year depending on the season ensuring visitors will always see something new every time they visit. The building is wheelchair friendly, and not only are the exhibits well worth seeing but the gallery room itself, reconstructed to how it would have looked at the time is also a must-see. As well as being able to enjoy some soymilk yuba (dried bean curd skin) udon in the restaurant, Imoutoya, there are also plenty of local souvenirs to be had such as local sake and confectionery.
