Valley Spots in Western Tama Area

  • Akigawa Valley
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Akiruno
    A lush valley sprawling along the Aki River west of Musashi-Itsukaichi Station on the JR Itsukaichi Line. The valley is also a convenient one-hour drive from central Tokyo. Here you can enjoy outdoor activities such as barbecuing and river fishing, and during the summer the area bustles with families out having fun. Open season for ayu fishing in the area starts at the beginning of June. Area restaurants also serve seasonal cuisine. The seasonal scenery found here is another of the area's draws, and in the vicinity of the Ishibune Bridge, the symbol of Akigawa Valley, you will find sprawling fresh verdure throughout summer, colorful fall foliage in autumn, and white snowscapes in winter. The valley is fully outfitted with walking courses, as well, enabling visitors to both experience the area's atmospheric mountains and take in a little forest therapy.
  • Hatonosu Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Nishitama-gun Okutamamachi Tanazawa
    "About two hours from Tokyo Station, this beautiful untamed ravine is in Okutama with its natural abundance. The gorge with its river winding among the cliffs and distinctive rock formations can be viewed walking about 40 meters down the Ome Highway from Hatonosu Station. The name means ""pigeon's nest"" in Japanese and is said to come from a pair of the birds that lived in a nearby grove of a shrine dedicated to a water deity in the Edo period. Don't miss the Otama Walking Trail, which provides access to Okutama's sites. The view from the suspension bridge during spring with its fresh green and when the leaves change in autumn is exceptional."
  • Mitake Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Oumeshi Mitake
    A gorge formed over countless years by the Tama River located in Mitake, Ome City, Tokyo. Walking paths have been put in place on both sides of the gorge for visitors to enjoy lovely scenery selected by the Ministry of the Environment as one of the 100 most beautiful river areas in the country. The area is also a renowned destination for river sports, and rafting competitions are occasionally held here.

    Tokyo Nishitama-gun Okutamamachi Sakai

    ここは、モミジの紅葉がきれいな奥多摩でも、一番だと思います。モミジと渓谷美、そして日の当たり方は鳩ノ巣渓谷よりいいと思います。名前はあまり知られていませんが、むかし道のルートにあります。

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.
