    Hinohara Tokyo Citizens’ Forest is located on the lower slopes of Mt.

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。

    Tokyo Hamurashi Hane 4122
    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.

    Tokyo Oumeshi Mitake 1-75
    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.

    Loved this small museum. I wasnt familiar with the artist Gyokudo beforehand but was impressed with his talent. Wish I couldve taken a photo of some of his landscapes and flowers. Just stunning...
