Top 50 things to do and attractions in Okutama-machi

Nice dam lake with the beautiful views surrounding the lake with the bridges.

I visited this place on 29 Nov 2024. There were very few tourists. Traveling here is quite limited if you don’t drive, as the area is quite vast. However, there are buses available. I love this place; it’s more beautiful than I could have imagined. But it takes quite a long time to get here and requires several transfers. If you have time, finding accommodation nearby would make the trip less tiring.

Oct. 14, 2024 2nd monday of October. Sports day. From the parking with the toilet head to the dam Cross to the other side, and in the middle of the bridge, there's observatory. Don't miss it! It's worth going to see the dam structure and miniature.

It is a beautiful lake accessible by train and bus from central Tokyo in about 2.5h. The lake has a serene atmosphere which is very soothing after experiencing busy Tokyo.

I came here by bus from Okutama JR station. I stopped at Lake Okutama “奥多摩湖”. Firstly, I surprised about the big lake and it’s beautiful deep blue color. Then I climbed the observatory to see the whole scene of the Lake, the Ogouchi dam, the mountains. It was a bit scary to look down from the window but it was a great view. There is a good atmosphere and a beautiful nature here. I was healed so much from my busy days.

Definitely an must visit place if you are Japan. One of the beautiful places I visited. Prefered time to visit is autumn. You can get busses from Okutama station to Lake Okutama. The journey with mountains valleys and autumn colours will be amazing to see. Get down at the dam and spend sometime there. But the real view comes later take the bus from the dam again and get down at Ideno bus stop. This place seems like no where but if you walk a little 100m from the bus stop you can find a opening that will lead you down hill and directly to the bank of the lake. You can get the best view of Lake and the surrounding mountains from here. It was stony and dangerous but also exciting and thrilling.

Beautiful lake! Nice parking area

This expansive, beautifully winding limestone cave seems popular with young Japanese couples and friend groups for dates and outings. The cave itself is impressively deep with stunning geological formations and refreshingly cool air that provides relief from outside heat. However, getting there is genuinely terrifying. The access road is single-lane both ways, forcing cars to back toward cliff edges when meeting oncoming traffic. Most incredibly, regular buses navigate this route multiple times daily - I cannot fathom how drivers manage this, especially during rain or fog when visibility drops to zero due to mist. The bus drivers deserve serious respect for their skill and courage. If you can handle the nerve-wracking journey and brief moments wondering if the cave might collapse, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular natural wonder. Just be prepared for white-knuckle driving and quick cave visits due to the challenging access.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Really enjoyed exploring the Nippara Limestone Caves with my guide, Ayumu. It was one of the highlights of my trip. Be warned! The temperature within the caves drop down to 10 degrees (this was during Summer time and I was looking at the thermometer inside the caves drop down). It’s best to bring a jacket. The cave inside has lots of twist and turns with some small openings, so be careful when walking up the stairs (you might bump your head). Inside, it’s quite a sight to behold and very tranquil.

A cool cave system to explore. It’s quite cold (around 5-10 Celsius) so bring a jacket. Though you might build up a sweat since there are SO MANY stairs to climb around the cave. And these stairs are very steep and slippery, so you have to tread carefully. Make sure to bring a jacket and a pair of non-slip shoes. As for things to see around the cave - there are a few shrines, large caverns, and stalactites and stalagmites to view. I’m not particularly interested in these things, but it was an experience to visit once. My boyfriend who really loves nature loved this though. Regarding facilities, they are well-developed. There are restrooms, a small store/restaurant, and even a smoking area. Once we bought tickets, they also gave us some themed bookmarks. If you’re in the Okutama area, I think this would be worthwhile to see. I don’t think it’d be worth it to come to the area just for this spot though. It is quite difficult to get here (45min bus ride from Okutama station that only has a few runs per day)

This was a fun and unique experience on my trip to Japan. The drive here was scenic and exciting- full of winding, narrow mountain roads and amazing views. The entire cave system is lit, but I recommend bringing your own headlamp so that you can peek around unlit crevices. My friend once found an old 1960s Fanta can. He brought it home but later thought that it had bad energy as he was having nightmares and night sickness which ended as soon as he got rid of the can. I believe him because this place is quite eerie. There is a shrine in the back full of small piles of stones that were assembled by grieving parents and which allegedly hold the souls of their lost babies and fetuses. The legend says that these souls are here as punishment for the pain that they caused their parents. There is also a deep section of the cave called "Hell's crevice," and there was a miniature shrine building labeled "the black gate" down in that section. If you don't know any of this, then you can just stroll through the caves with the only impediment being the many stairs and the bats - some of the bats are lurking in tight spaces where they could be close to your head. But if you do know all of this information, then there's an extra layer of eeriness about the caves and you find yourself imagining what you would do if the power went out. Thankfully I had the headlamp lol. Price was very affordable, you will probably spend more on gas getting here if you drive than you do on the admission. The cave only took 1 hour to explore, so we also visited some local hiking trails, the local gorge and canyon, and a local onsen.

It's extremely lovely. Please highly recommended to visit, especially for the people who love old caves. 7000 years old. Moreover, it's kind of cold inside 11 degrees, and good pictures can be taken inside and along the way to the caves.

One of the highlights of the Okutama area, the Nippara Limestone cave is huge and fascinating except that there are no signs or descriptions in English so you do not know what you are looking at. We went on a weekday so it is not crowded at all. (although there is a huge 200 lot car park nearby so I would assume it gets very crowded in the weekends)

The cave with nice illumination..... although it's a bit tough for climbing up at the almost vertical staircase to the new cave.

Got there around 11 am. Available parking even though there were tons of people. We were able to catch 5 trouts and had them grill them for us. Slightly pricey for what it is as they’re not wild but more thrown into a pond. You can bbq and picnic freely. We had fun.

Great place to visit near tokyo in about 2 hours distance to the location. Locates 10 minutes walk from okutama station . Good environment with not so costly price . You can lend fishing goods there and can take home all the fishes you caught as well.

It's nice but overcrowded! My kids had fun fishing and eating the fish we caught.

Really nice fishing area, you can rent all the stuff here and BBQ here as well. Feels colder because of the river so dress appropriately. On the website they mention that you can get fish cleaned professionally, but I didn't see that service, I had to clean by myself. The prices are a bit on the high side, I feel the afternoon only pass is more worth it

Literally a walk from the end of the rail line. Here you can walk from the station and for a few catch your meal. The fish are stocked, the choice is live or artificial bait. The hidden gem is the restaurant, great curry, great view, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended even if you don't fish.

The restaurant in the place is idyllic with ok food. The fishing area feels like a scam - they charge you 1,700 yen for basic rods and then charge for each person separately as well as for the bait. The fishery organizer was quite rude - he refused to sell rods and tickets separately to us as we were two families. Also, the fish are about 15cm long (6 inches) and released only when you pay. Many do not catch fish at all. Nice for kids but not a good experience overall except for the restaurant. There are also a lot better fisheries.

Fantastic trout fishing experience. They refill the area with trout to make sure that people have something to catch. It's a nice surprise if you are able to catch the mountain trout that are naturally there - not the ones they release into the water. It's better to focus on fishing earlier in the morning when the fish bite more so you can have more catch, and start grilling them early afternoon. They only accept cash and paypay so make sure you have either ready.

11-Feb-2025 #intothewild At the Top of Tokyo: Mount Kumotori (2017.1m) 🥾🧗‍♀️🏔️ This is highest point of Tokyo and route easy but very long. We started our hike from Mitsumine Shrine around 11AM and arrived at Kumotori sanso at 6PM. For hikers, we suggest to arrive at least before 4PM. We stayed at Kumotori sanso. Next day we started at 6AM and sun was already on horizon. It took 1hr to reach the peak of Mt Kumotori. It was windy and cold in peak so we only stayed couple of minutes there. For about an hour we stayed in emergency shelter near peak. The shelter is well established with toilets too but no water. We enjoyed breakfast in shelter with beautiful view from there. Around 8:30 we descended to Okutama. Always wanted to do winter hike, and on this special occasion of my birthday we embark for this challenge. It was also the birthplace of one my favorite anime Kamado Tanjiro (Demon Slayer)🥷 It was tough and memorable days with my beautiful wife❤️

Standing at 2,017 meters, Mt. Kumotori is the tallest mountain in Tokyo Prefecture—and a 2-day, 1-night climb that's well worth the effort. We hiked on a Monday and had the trail mostly to ourselves (only five guests stayed at the lodge that night, including us). In June, the insects are relentless—no amount of repellent will fully keep them away. A face net is your best defense, along with light-colored clothing. We started our hike at 10:30 AM and reached the lodge around 3:30 PM, including a 40-minute break to take shelter from the rain. Just follow the trail signs and use Google Translate when needed. However some of the signages cannot be read but we were very lucky to bump into climbers coming down which were able to point us the direction (there is just 1 part of the trail midway which is confusing and a wrong turn will lead you back down the mountain on the other side.)

Took me 8.5 hours to get to the top and to get back. If you are a slower hiker, it is better to take the first bus. Otherwise it will be too dark for you to come back....alive.

Totally recommend warming up by starting from a breakfast spot on the lake level. I dropped 1 stop before Kamosawa and ate my bread on the Tozura floating bridge. The approach to the parking lot was fairly easy to find. At the end of October, this route saw more traffic as my wife said it was some holiday period in Japan. Everyone was friendly on the trail, I lost track of the number of greetings I said up the forest tracks. Interestingly, there were a few water spring spots along the hike in the forest and the approach after the Nanatsuishi hut. I would pretend these had extra minerals and chug them sparingly from my bottle till the end of my hike. This year (2023) also saw more bear sightings according to the news, and my mother in law packed a rusty bear bell for me carry, though the 'ching ching' does sounds like dinner bells to my ears. Once you ascended Nanatsuishi, you can see Kumotori in the distant cloudy tree tops. Tracing the top of the ridge would bring you past a helipad and up rocky zig zags slopes before finally seeing the shelter hut at the top. Foolishly, I chose the dark descent to Sanjo no Yu which was my hut, and the next hour saw a desolated, quiet descent which saw a few huge animals rustling away from the chingaling bells from my hips. I saw glimpses of 2 deers and 1 white animal which I believe to be a goat. Overall I loved the climb despite the complaints from my thighs and feet.

A very long trek to the top from Kamosawa bus stop. Easy to climb except for some steep sections near the top. A very good experience that also included encounters with deer, monkey and a cat at the Mt. Nanatsu cabin. The trek itself is easy but feels difficult due to the long and unending trail to the top. I covered 24 km. in a single day starting at 0758 in the morning and finished at 1845 in the evening. I do not recommend a day trip to this mountain but if you want to make sure to reach the trailhead by 0600 in the morning(only possible by car/taxi), or take the 0534 bus from Okutama station that will drop you near the trailhead at 0608.

Great mountain! A bit snowy during the winter, but still beautiful views. When I had visited, a local had offered to let me stay a night in his home in fear of the mythical oni that roamed at night. I had declined at first, but he insisted. The next morning, I kept venturing up the mountain until a foul smell hit my nose, and from there I decided to turn back. Other than that, great experience!

Amazing view of Mt Fuji and Minami Alpes. For hiking is great. It’s not a hard trail, just some steep parts, however it is long one, around 10 km until the top. There’s a place to sleep, bring your sleeping bag.

After two days of climbing Mt. Kumotori without a shower, this Onsen feels like pure heaven. Just a short drive from Kamosawa, it’s clean, modern, and newly built. Towels aren’t available for rent, so either bring your own or be prepared to buy one on-site. The food is also surprisingly delicious—a perfect way to end the hike. There is a small footbath area for 100Yen next to the onsen.

This was a very relaxing, cozy, clean establishment. You should bring your own towels, they do not rent towels here. They do sell them, but that doubles the cost. The tubs are very small, but it was not too busy when I was here so it was fine. They do not seem to have a problem with tattoos here. I enjoyed the cafe and gift shop upstairs.

When here for lunch with a few friends and the food is great. They sell fresh wasabi products on the 2nd floor. They have a good foot-bath as well

Great onsen experience after a hike. The staff were friendly, the facilities were nice and clean, the price was reasonable. The outside area for the male section was great to relax and listen to the nearby river too.

Very scenic and easily accessible. The facility is nice, clean and well kept. It has both an indoor and an open outdoor hot spring. The place has nice views and offers a relaxing opportunity after hiking or and the end of a camping expedition.

Onsen just next to the Hikawa Camp Site ⛺. For ¥1,250 / person, you can try the onsen with tree views for both indoor with jacuzzi style and outdoor bath (there are only 2 baths). Heading to the restaurant upstairs or try the chair massage for more relaxation.

Nice location, lovely staff, and large gift shop/dining area. Only three stars, because overall it’s not worth the price. There are only two large baths: one inside and one outside. They are peaceful and refreshing, but feel crowded. No individual tubs like other onsens, and limited counter space to get ready after. It’ll do if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to check it out.

A wonderful hike up Mt. Mitake to visit the temple at the summit. Start by taking the ropeway up, then head to the tourist information counter to pick up maps and details about the trail. Be sure to visit the Rock Garden—it's a highlight of the hike. There's also a large rock you can climb for a bit of fun. The round trip takes about two hours.

It's a pretty awesome place to hike. Easy for beginners. You can take a bus right outside Mitake station, turn left, cross the road, and turn left. Or just ask the visitor centre and ask for a map.The bus is scheduled, so do take note of the time. Once you board the bus, it will take you all the way to near the cable car. You will need to walk uphill for 5 mins to reach the cable car station. Once there, I suggest you take note of the cable car timing to prepare the time to descent. After exiting the cable car station, you will need to walk for abt 10 min on a stretch of road to reach the town. To even reach the start of the walk to the shrine, you will need to cont uphill inside the town. Those who are planning for the Nanayo waterfall, you will need to go to near the shrine, and turn left, follow the sign board. Overall, you can walk 1 loop to the nanayo waterfall> rock garden> ayahiro fall> cedar trees> shrine. Spent a total of 2.5 hr or less for the route. Its steep initially will downhills and slopes then slippery rocks and icey pathways w snow, followed by gentle path back to the shrine.

I can really recommend Mount Mitake as a day trip from Tokyo. Breathtaking views. Just remember that if you take the last cable car down from the mountain you will miss the last bus to Mitake train station :)

Great hiking and shrines to visit Cable car is ¥600 one way saves 1 hour on foot, but the beautiful forest is worth the walk with all their sacred old trees

Anyone can easily reach the summit by taking the mountain train. The streets near the summit were old-fashioned and interesting. It is not that crowded, so you can take your time to explore the nature.

I climbed here by using Senzoku trail to first summit Odake and after Odake, Mitake felt like heaven by how easy it was to get on top and go back down.

Easily accessible by train. Good for a day trip outing. Can take the Cable cart too. Need to walk a bit to reach the Nanayo waterfall. There is a place mentioned as Rock Garden but actually there is no specific Garden such as instead the route to Ayahiro waterfall is surrounded by rocks and the water stream in between that is the Rock Garden.

The Ozawa Brewery located off Route 411 in Ome. The tour was quick and only lead us through limited parts of the brewery. There was literature in English but the tour was exclusively in Japanese. The tour was okay but you might look elsewhere if you want to see more facets of sake brewing. You can make reservations of the tour over the internet.

We tried all 10 sake at the brewery and they were all good! Unfortunately, the tour is only delivered in Japanese. They will provide the pamphlet in English but you’ll have to figure out which part they are sharing.

Great sake in a great location. Lovely garden area on the river serving sake, sake snacks, and other café items. Across the bridge there is a temple which you can climb to see some view other views of the river. Very close to the train station and available for tours.

Highly recommend! My husband took me here for Mother's day and it was beautiful. I could spend the whole day here. We couldn't get a tour because they were all booked but my husband went on the tour a few months back and loved it. The sake was delicious, my husband and I bought a bottle of the #2. Even if you don't drink sake it is worth a day trip. There is a cafe with coffee, cake and other food/ snack options. A bridge and a bell, and shrine. You can tip your toes in the cold river on a hot day. So beautiful that it shouldn't be missed.

This sake brewery is located in a beautiful mountain region of Japan. A terrific place for a memorable day trip out of Tokyo. The sake is excellent and there a shop that offers samples and bottles for purchase. There are a number of restaurants clustered in a wooded area by the river. They also offer a brewery tour but be sure to get tickets ahead of time. This is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers as well as folks out for good food and drinks. It can get a little crowded on weekends and holidays but is still a terrific place to visit to enjoy sake and food in a beautiful nature setting.

It was a very lovely afternoon excursion outa city. Arrived with plenty time to enjoyed yummy lunch at the cafe by the river and joined in on the 2pm free brewery tour. Their free tour is in Japanese but you can pick up an English pamphlet that gives you detailed info about the brewery and the process of making Sake. Plus there‘a often other English speaking tours (with their Japanese guides)part of the brewery tour so you can get quite a bit from that too. The tour was short and sweet and then the fun began… We tried 4 different types of sake and they were all very yummy.. we spent time in the tasting room enjoyed our drinks. You get to keep those very beautiful cups too. They made it back home safely. Definitely a worth day/half day outing choice.

Wasn't able to schedule the tour but the sake tasting was great. What's not to like about being able to sample as much as you like shots of sake for around ( $.067 ) a shot. It was great to sample in one sitting may different styles and actually taste the differences. They required a phone call (japanese ) to make a tour reservation and I never had the hotel call for me.

Very kind and friendly staff! Offer plenty of recommendations for the local area and can show hiking trail maps and latest information on the trails in the area

Super helpful and friendly man gave me hiking maps for Okutsma and the region. And he pointed us to a great udon place with handmade noodles!

Good, friendly and with plenty of useful information.

(Translated by Google) 2024.9 [Admission fee] Free It is located in front of the station, which is unusual for a visitor center. Perhaps because of the location, there were fewer exhibits of museum-like animal and bird specimens, but I felt that there were more volunteer interpreters. It is full of information on mountain climbing and bear sightings around Okutama, so it is very informative. 【overview】 We have a wealth of information on Chichibu-Tama Kai National Park as a whole, especially mountain information such as mountain trails and evacuation huts around Mt. Kumotori, so please make use of it if you are planning a mountain climb. At the Okutama Visitor Center, we hold nature classes led by interpreters, nature classes run by volunteers, and specialized nature courses throughout the year. The exhibits and pamphlets change according to the season, so you can enjoy it no matter when you visit. In addition to providing nature commentary, we also assist tourists and other users in emergencies (lost children, injuries, etc.).

(Translated by Google) It's located right near Okutama Station! There are exhibits on flora and fauna on the second floor! You can try bouldering for free on the first floor lol. You can get a postcard by answering a paper questionnaire. It's a great place to kill time! ⚠️There is no luggage storage service⚠️ (Original) 奥多摩駅のすぐ近くにあります！ 2階には動植物に関する展示があります！ 1階では無料でボルダリングができました笑 紙のアンケートに回答するとポストカードが貰えます。 時間潰しにもってこいの場所です！ ⚠️荷物の預かりサービスはありませんでした⚠️

(Translated by Google) We stopped by here during our trip. There were lots of stuffed animals, which the kids were fascinated by. They got a good look at the bears that have been all the rage recently. And finally, we had a blast climbing the boulders. There's parking for a few cars at the back on the left. (Original) 旅の途中で寄らせていただきました。動物の剥製がたくさんあり、子供も興味津々。最近話題の熊をまじまじと見てました。 最後にボルダリングで大喜び。 駐車場は左手奥に数台あるよ。

(Translated by Google) The Noriyoshi Fireworks Festival is worth a visit, where you can experience local festivals and fireworks. (Original) 納涼花火大會值得一去，能夠體驗在地的祭典以及煙火。

Don't confuse the other Mugiyama Bridge (normal bridge) with this Floating Bridge - there is only one Looks nice, not as impressive as in photos and you definitely cannot walk across it because it's not connected to the ends, you can't walk down the stairs either Right beside a highway Worth it if you're not tight on time and know the bus schedule well But otherwise Lake Okutama itself should be more worth it than this bridge alone 7-9min walk from the nearest bus station, bus 14 from Okutama Station but quite a long distance out

Beautiful area with scenic views. Can not arrive the warter, just can view it from above. It is deserved to spend 1 day going around here

Nice place tho the hike around the lake is closed until Nov 2025.

Nice place but the day we went there in was close

It's temporarily closed so be careful when visit this place.

Not currently open.

It's closed at the moment....

It’s so good seeing a cluster of beautiful and lovely Japanese dog’s tooth violet while trekking through Mt. Gozen, Okutama, Tokyo.

Very nice trail for starter.

very good for relax

Very beautiful and calm place, after a long climbing. It is important to have enough water on you, there are no restrooms or water resources on the way, and it will take about 6 hours and a half depending on your speed and experience in climbing or hiking. Nature is amazing and relaxing, you can enjoy having a cup of coffee (bring your own, there is nothing) and snacks. Many bugs of all sizes are found in different birds and small animals. The place is so much quiet that we could hear the raindrops and bugs cry very clear. Not very recommend to take this root on rainy days, it is super steep and slippery, it would be a good idea to wear special boots and have hiking basic hiking tools if needed, but water is very important. You should also be careful of the bears especially close to the waterfall, it is better to go early as much as possible to avoid being in this area after 4 PM. Also, there are no vending machines on the top of the mountain. 😛

(Translated by Google) A colony of anthracite...I thought it was already late, but 2025.05.03 It was blooming near the top of the mountain 🌸 Long course from Okutama Station to Mt. Nokogiri to Mt. Gozen to Lake Okutama Around Mt. Nokogiri, there are azaleas, azaleas, and azaleas. On Mt. Gozen, you can see Japanese katakuri (Japanese katakuri), Ichirinsou (Japanese cicada), and Fuderinanthus. It was quite a strenuous hike, but I was healed by the flowers and fresh greenery.

(Translated by Google) 2025/4/26. I climbed to see the dogtooth violets, but the weather was bad and the flowers were not in bloom. There were also a lot of leaves, but few flowers and buds, so I thought it might have been a bad year. The trail on the Seihachi Shindo trail is faint in some places, so be careful.

(Translated by Google) May 22, 2024 (Wed) Mt. Gozen - Round Trip Activity Data Time: 03:37 Distance: 9.1km Ascent: 902m Descent: 902m Calories: 1271kcal My first time on Mt. Gozen! Starting from the Tochiyori Tourist Parking Lot We walked along a paved road, and the first half was easy, with a mostly well-maintained trail. The difficulty level was low, so you don't need much physical strength to get through. This trekking course truly captures the atmosphere of Okutama. The first trailhead, the Mt. Gozen trailhead, begins with a slightly steep climb. The Okutama Forest Experience Trail might not be as satisfying. This trail is recommended for beginners or those with limited physical strength. The summit is not open and not very spacious. Views of the Okutama mountains are available. I found two toilets, which are readily available for use in emergencies, so it's reassuring.

This is a good place for learn about forests in Japan. We came with a group. There are restrooms and a restaurant here. This restaurant provide wide range of foods which made out of local products such as vegetable, orange, cabbage, raddish, mushroom etc. Soba and Udon dishes are quite popular among both local and international tourists. There is a small Musium and a workshop to kids/ young children. They show which kind of animal live in the forest, different type of local plants, edible berries etc.

Nice view

Beautiful scenery and natural beauty; I wish the lodge was cleaner, though.

Beautiful little spot with lots of beautiful rivers and water falls!

Very nice trekking road which is close to Tokyo.

lovely place and nice for a holiday stay here for a couple of days.

the bridge was down and a little more than beginner

Magical mountain shrine with breathtaking views and a sacred wolf guardian 🐺 If you’re looking for a spiritual escape just outside of Tokyo, Musashi Mitake Shrine is a hidden gem. Located at the summit of Mt. Mitake, this ancient Shinto shrine is known for its guardian deity — the wolf, revered as a protector against evil and disasters. It’s a rare and powerful symbol in Japanese mythology. The shrine is reachable by the Mitake Cable Car, which boasts the steepest incline in the Tokyo area — a fun and scenic ride up the mountain. From the cable car station, there’s a moderate hike of about 30–40 minutes, with some steep paths, but it’s a great workout surrounded by lush forest and fresh mountain air. The atmosphere at the top is peaceful, energizing, and spiritually refreshing. Whether you’re into hiking, history, or nature, this place offers a bit of everything. You’ll also find some beautiful torii gates, stone lanterns, and panoramic views along the way. Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and try to go on a clear day to enjoy the views! Highly recommended for a day trip that connects culture, nature, and spiritual calm.

The cable car is 1200 yen round trip then a short hike to the shrine. The shrine is pretty big and there are stores and restaurants that are close to it on the mountain. Provides a beautiful view on a clear day. The path is nice and well maintained but be prepared for a steep hike.

This place is worth visiting. Really beautiful temple in top of the mountain. You can also experience the Cable car service on the ways. Allocate at least half of your days.

Musashi Mitake Shrine, where a mythological wolf guided legendary warrior turned emperor Yamato Takeru to safety. Believe it or not, the air at 929 meters above sea level is fresh and climbing all these stairs is good for your blood pressure and calorie burn. In regular, non COVID times I saw some gift offering rituals in the back, more sacred area, but I’m not sure all of them are held today. It was also sad to see a lot of the shops and hotels struggling and either close permanently or temporarily. So if you’re a dog-person (or any pet) do yourself a favor, support small businesses, get your pet an omamori and stay healthy by visiting this amazing place.

Perfect hike with your furry friend. Pets are welcome on the cable car going up to the shrine and may even be blessed at the temple.

Get off at the Mitake train station. You can take the bus and cable car to get to the shrine. Or you can hike up the mountain. The shrine is pretty nice but there are lots of steps. It is not disabled friendly so be aware . There are many walking paths and photo opportunity spots all around. It's a great way to experience something just outside of Tokyo.

Beautiful scenery and a great exercise hike 👍 The shrine was just the start of a really fun yet challenging hike and the trees during the fall were bright and colorful, so the trip seemed much more relaxing. Just a wonderful experience to have. I'd recommend it for anyone who is physically able.

It’s a bit of a hike to reach the bottom of the canyon and explore the Tama River, but well worth the effort. We took the staircase next to Kikori Café to make our way down. The canyon is stunning—peaceful, scenic, and full of natural beauty.

Hatanosu Canyon – Perfect Autumn Escape 🍁 Just 2 hours from Tokyo, Hatanosu Canyon (鳩ノ巣渓谷) is a hidden gem for weekend treks or bike rides. The trails along the Tama River glow with red and gold leaves in autumn, making it one of the best spots for nature near Tokyo. Easy access, peaceful vibes, and cozy cafés — a perfect autumn day trip getaway! 🌿✨

Another scenic area of the Tama River, Okutama area, this one is probably more rugged/jagged than other parts. There is a suspension bridge here which connects the 2 sides of the river/canyon and is a great spot for viewing autumn leaf colors. I went on November 25, 2025 and while it looks like the general area is past peak, this place still gave an impressive show. To get here from the Hatonosu train station, turn right after exiting, down the street to the main road, and continue to the street just before Hatonosu Tunnel. Continue down towards the parking lot and the way to the canyon is around the building (if you don't look at the area maps, it will appear that the way to the canyon is well hidden). The hiking is not that straightforward, rather difficult, and you have to be careful if it has been raining. Docked one star because of its hidden nature and that. Still, this is a good place for photos.

It is perfect place for family camping, enjoying fresh and cool water near Okutama. 14.07.2025.

Nice and easy hike alongside the river. I’ll suggest getting off at Kori Station and hike alongside the river to Okutama station.

Toilets around here are well maintained. From the hatonosu station it takes about a 5-10min walk to the bridge. But the flooring may be a bit rocky so wear hiking shoes if possible

As you ride the train to Okutama, you'll see many people heading for hikes, even elderly folks, which is pretty impressive. There are different hiking spots to explore. We started at Hatonosu Station and walked to Okutama Station, around 10km, but it was totally worth it. The track is pretty easy and beginner-friendly. The path is calm and green, with lots of trees. The river water is clear, and some folks are fishing for rainbow trout. You can also try canoeing with a reservation, I think. Late November would be a great time to visit, when the trees turn a beautiful red.

Views are great. Saw a number of people swimming, camping, and BBQing by the stream here. Complex itself also has an indoor onsen and a free foot onsen open to public. Saw a few signs cautioning of wild bears in the area. Guess they haven't seen me at a buffet yet.

Short Introduction for people who don’t know what it is. It is a stream of river which is long(valley), where you can enter and bath in the river depending on the stream speed(be careful though) It is mostly preferred for camping, barbecue, fishing I used train for the access but actually car will be better The valley is situated inside a dense forest which will make you feel out of Tokyo, no entry or anything You can have all the fun you want, many restaurants are available. Here people visit for hot bath and to Temples and shrines also It has a great scenic view and enjoyed a lot in the river, best location for summer

Beaux River with an amazing vibe. Lowkey spot to get off grid and cleanse your aura and clear chakras. Let’s keep this magical place clean and private.

Can't believe that we were still in Tokyo given the views we saw, and the restaurant prices in the area Do drop by for a visit especially during autumn and enjoy the river activities

Just a local river. that's all nice place to do BBQ

Best place to camp. Beautiful yet super crowded. You can get into river.

Beautiful place, the view along the bridge is stunning. A foot-bath is nearby and it’s very soothing.

Nice view from up the here.

It's a really nice place for an afternoon walk. Enjoy the sunshine and breeze here!

Nice day drive, would have been more exciting on the motorcycle.....twisty roads.

Nothing much to see

(Translated by Google) I visited this dam on a drive during the long weekend. It's not a big dam, so I was able to look around like it was a light stroll. The parking lot is located high up, and the entrance to the fishway observation passage is right next to it, and the exit is at the same height as the dam, so it's more efficient to start by observing the fishway, as you'll have to go up and down fewer stairs. The fishway observation passage is free. The dam itself is easy to walk on, so you can enjoy seeing the sluice gates up close, and you can see the fishway from the dam. The fishway was quite fun, so I'd like to go again at a different time of year. [ Visited: 2025/05 ] (Original) 大型連休中のドライブで訪れました。 そこまで大きなダムでも無いので、軽い散歩な感じで見て回れました。 駐車場の位置が高く、駐車場のすぐ隣に魚道見学通路の入口があり、出口がダムの高さの所にあるので、魚道見学から始めた方が階段を昇り降りする回数が減り、効率的です。 魚道見学通路は、無料です。 ダム自体は、堤体の上も軽く歩けるので、水門も近くで見れて楽しめるのと、堤体から魚道が見れます。 魚道が結構楽しかったので、時期を変えてまた行きたいと思います。 [ 訪問日：2025/05 ]

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 19, 2025. Although it is a small dam, it has a fishway that allows fish to swim upstream. You can descend a spiral staircase to the underground area where the fishway is located, and it is pleasantly cool when you reach the bottom. I recommend visiting this dam together with Ogouchi Dam further ahead. Dam cards are distributed at the Shiromaru Dam fishway near the dam. Normally they are only available on weekends and holidays, but during the summer vacation period they are also distributed on weekdays. (Original) 20250819訪問。 小規模なダムですが、魚が上流に登るための魚道が整備されています。 魚道がある地下には螺旋階段で下ることができ、下まで降りるとほんのり涼しく気持ちが良いです。 この先にある小河内ダムとセットで行くのをオススメします。 ダムカードはダム近くの白丸ダム魚道で配布しています。普段は土日祝のみですが、夏休み期間のみ平日も配布しています。

(Translated by Google) We recommend this spot as a stopover when sightseeing in Okutama. Although it is a small dam, it has a fishway for fish to pass through in order to protect the environment. The spiral staircase and fishway make it a very photogenic spot. There is a parking space nearby, so it is easy to access. It is also close to Hatonosu Valley, so it is worth taking a little trip out to visit during the autumn foliage season. The view from the observation facility overlooks the dam facility and you can enjoy the beautiful green lake surface. You can also see some people canoeing here. (Original) 奥多摩観光の立ち寄りとしておすすめです。 小さなダムですが環境保全のため 魚が通過するための魚道があります。 螺旋階段と魚道がフォトジェニックな スポットですね。 近くに駐車スペースもありますので アクセスは容易です。 鳩ノ巣渓谷からも近く、紅葉シーズンなどに少し足を延ばして訪問してみるのが いいと思います。 展望施設からの眺望はダム施設を見下ろす形となり、美しいグリーンの湖面が楽しめます。 カヌーなどされている方もおりますね。

Beautiful trail along the river with many unmarked waterfalls culminating in this big waterfall. At a leisurely pace it is about 2 hrs from the bus stop during ascent. Have good shoes which should not slip and are ideally waterproof. Trekking pole would be better but not mandatory.

Not seen many falls but this was really beautiful and wanted to dive in there. Mother nature at best💚🌊💦

Beautiful falls at the top of a scenic hike

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) It took us a little over 30 minutes on a paved road and a little over 30 minutes on an unpaved mountain road. Hyakuhiro Falls was an overwhelming sight. There are some very dangerous places on the mountain path, so it's best to be careful. (Original) 舗装路を30分強＋未舗装の山道を30分強かけて登りました。 百尋ノ滝は圧巻の迫力でした。 山道は足元のかなり危ない箇所もあるため、慎重を期するとよいと思います。

Beautiful and chilled summer adventure – Hyakuhirono Falls From Okutama Station, take the bus from Platform 1 to Kawanori Bridge. From there, it’s about a 1–1.5 hour walk on a paved road, followed by a 40-minute hike on a forest trail (some parts are a bit steep). The waterfall itself is stunning, and we even enjoyed a refreshing swim there. Perfect spot to cool off in summer!

(Translated by Google) It is difficult to access by car, so you have to climb up a paved road forever from the trailhead, and when it starts to look like a mountain, you have to follow a very narrow mountain road to reach the waterfall. But it's a waterfall worth visiting. (Original) 車🚙でのアクセスは悪く、登山口からも永遠に舗装道路を登って行き、山らしくなったらかなり細い山道を進み漸く辿り着く滝です。 でも行く価値がある滝です。

Nice to visit in Autumn. Beautiful red orenge and green leaves. Don't forget to try the products form Wasabi from the souvenir shop.

The museum and building was nice to visit and have lunch. The view from the cafe was beautiful. We took a nice stroll across the dam also. Good spot for a family outing and it was free.

Free and great to visit when you need a reason to get out the house. Walking the dam was great for the dog. Will do it again since I live nearby.

Very beautiful greenery place must visit to enjoy natural view also approach camping. Vegetarians carry your own food there is no restaurant. You will get some groceries like rice, spices, beer and bread etc

Excellent place for nature lovers. You can enjoy trailing through the small mountains, you can see the Okutama dam that is controlling water flow to the river. Okutama lake itself is very beautiful. You can do rafting to the near Mitsuke station. But need booking in advance. There are not much convenient store and restaurant. So it's better to carry some food.

It's non typical Tokyo's crowd, awesome montain range. For me as a tourist it's better go in winter. To find eternal serenity during winter and maybe hike the peak of Okutama's mountain range. The dam is quite awesome, there's observatory building near dam, to know more information about the area and history.

It is the driving to this place as well as the views from walking around the dam that makes the visit worthwhile. Should not visit here for much else. Very peaceful and great views. You won't find visible discharges of water.

(Translated by Google) In Lake Okutama, there were schools of small fish swimming along the shore, and there were also large ones. It was beautiful but the water level was quite low and there were some people fishing. (Original) 奥多摩湖には小魚が岸辺にそって群れ泳いでたのとでかいのもいた。きれいだったけど水位はだいぶ下だったあと釣り人もいた

(Translated by Google) Okutama is located within Tokyo, yet you can fully experience its abundant nature. It's also conveniently located just a two-hour train ride from Shinjuku, making it the perfect place for a day trip or a refreshing weekend getaway. I highly recommend it for a change of pace! The scenery around Lake Okutama and the Tama River changes with the seasons, with the fresh greenery of spring and the autumn foliage being particularly spectacular. There are also a variety of well-maintained hiking trails, making it a great spot for beginners to enjoy. With a wide range of activities available, including camping, barbecues, sweetfish fishing, and playing in the river, it's a must-see for outdoor enthusiasts. It's a great place to refresh both body and mind in nature. Please note that barbecues are not permitted in some areas. (Original) 奥多摩は東京都内にありながら、豊かな自然を存分に味わえて、新宿から電車で約2時間ほどで行ける手軽さも魅力で、日帰り旅行や週末のリフレッシュにぴったりだと思います。 気分転換に行くのにオススメです！ 奥多摩湖や多摩川沿いの景色は四季折々で色んな感じが美しく、春の新緑や秋の紅葉は特に見応えがあります。ハイキングコースも色々整備されてて、 初心者でも楽しめるのも嬉しいポイントです。 キャンプやバーベキュー、鮎釣りとか川遊びなどアクティビティも豊富で、アウトドア好きにはたまらないスポットです。自然の中で心身ともにリフレッシュできる場所としておすすめです。 バーベキューはできないスポットもあるので注意です。

This is a bit far out but it was worth the trip. And even during golden week it wasn’t too crowded. Get there early for a good parking spot. The main lot fills up early but they do have another parking area nearby. They do provide free shuttle service between the venue and the parking area. As far as the forest itself there are plenty of trails to choose from and interesting things to see. You can see a beautiful view of Mount Fuji quite a ways up the mountain but you go even further up you can view more things. I stopped at the Fuji viewpoint cause I was tired. If you’re not used to it, this can be a challenge. They also have a shop for food and souvenirs. But check this place out if you have a chance. You don’t have to go too high to enjoy this place. They also have a bike rack if you want to ride here.

We went on a clear day. The view was amazing. It was a little high, so some might get an elevation sickness.

Beautiful views and visitor centre. Well worth a visit

A beautiful and interesting forest of mixed trees including old beech trees, which are rare for the Kanto area. Accessibility is a factor in how appealing it will be for foreign visitors. There's a special rapid train on the Chuo Line that runs directly to Musashi-Itsukaichi station on weekends and holidays. Otherwise, transfer is required. From there, there is limited bus service to the forest -- only three buses in the a.m. But they run multiple buses to accommodate all the hikers April to November, so you're generally able to sit for the rather long and winding -- though scenic -- one-hour and about 900 yen ride. All those hikers seem to disappear somehow, though -- the trails are only moderately busy on big holidays and autumn leaf season. There are easy one-hour hikes and longer 4-5 hour moderately strenuous ones requiring proper footwear. At 1500 meters, it's also cooler and more prone to rain than Tokyo proper. There is a visitor center and two places to get food -- mostly typical noodles and curry. With a waterfall, various wildflowers and birds, a few good views, and fresh air, it's a nice place to experience nature if you're willing to put in the effort.

Located near the end of twisty Okutama road, the place serves as a rest area. They have a few shops, bus stops so that you can take a bus home if you wreck your car or bike :-) There're a couple of other parking along the way, and they would give you much more beautiful mountain and lake views, but they're much smaller and not paved.

Tokyo citizen's forest. Quite a few interesting short trails. Well-marked, well-maintained, very little chance of getting lost. Maps available at the start of he trails, with details of the points of interest.

The restaurant is quite good. A limited menu but the meal was satisfactory.

Beautiful structure, and the most convenient to get to Hikawa Camp Site area. Very well kept with tourist friendly facilities like lockers, dressing room and waiting area. Just 6 minutes walk to the camping sites. Also has some cafe/restaurant upstairs in this old-style wooden train station building.

Enjoying Canadian craft beers at the Octoberfest on the Okutama station. It was so delicious after the 8 hours of mountain trekking!

There is a dressing room which is such great infrastructure. Made it so easy to get changed in a clean space after hiking/swimming.

Many toilets near the station

(Translated by Google) At the station heading to Okutama Lake, there are often stalls outside where you can have a good meal before departure. (Original) 前往奧多摩湖的車站，外面常有擺設攤位出發前可以大快朵頤一番。

(Translated by Google) I used it while climbing Mt. Kumotori. Suica is accepted. On the second floor, there is a restaurant and cafe where you can eat, as well as a store that sells climbing goods. The first floor is equipped with a waiting room, coin lockers, and changing rooms, and the outdoor toilets are equipped with water and brushes for washing your shoes after climbing, so it is a very convenient place. As you leave the station, the bus stop is directly in front, the tourist association is on the left, and there are bento and souvenir shops along the road. I had some time to spare after climbing Mt. Kumotori, so I had a large portion of katsu curry and today's India coffee on the second floor. (Original) 雲取山登山で利用致しました。 Suicaも利用出来ます。 2階には食事の出来るレストランやカフェ、登山グッズ販売店などもあります。 一階には待合室やコインロッカーや更衣室も完備され、外にあるトイレには登山後靴を洗うブラシや水道設備もあって至れり尽くせりです。 駅を出て正面にはバス乗場が、左側には観光協会が、道路沿いにはお弁当やお土産やさん等も。 私は雲取山登山後電車の時間にゆとりがあったので2階にてカツカレー大盛りと本日のコーヒーインディアをいただきました。

(Translated by Google) This station is the terminus of the Ome Line and Tokyo's westernmost point. While its mountain hut-style exterior remains unchanged, the interior facilities have been renovated for modern times. For hikers, there are coin lockers, changing rooms, and shoe washing areas in the outdoor toilets. If you take the "Holiday Rapid Okutama" departing Tokyo Station at 6:31 AM to the last stop, Ome, you can connect to the Holiday Rapid bound for Okutama, which only stops at Ontake and Okutama, and arrive at Okutama at 8:24 AM, less than two hours later. (As of August 2025) (Original) 青梅線の終点で東京都最西端の駅。山小屋風の見た目は昔と変わりませんが内部の設備は今どきに改装されてました。登山客向けにコインロッカー、更衣室、外のトイレには靴洗い場があります。 東京駅6:31発の「ホリデー快速おくたま」で終点の青梅まで行くと、御嶽と奥多摩しか止まらない奥多摩行きのホリデー快速に接続、奥多摩8:24着と2時間かからず到着します。(2025年8月現在)

Great hike, 4hr 20mins in total. Certainly has some challenging parts where you are physically climbing/on all fours.

Definitely a tough trek for beginners, but should be no problem for experienced hikers and people who are otherwise active. Assume the standard route to the top, in either direction, will take anywhere from 3-5 hours depending on your pace and frequency of stops. Be cognizant of when the sun sets as portions of the hike are deep in the forest. It gets rather dim earlier than you might expect.

We started hiking from Okutama station and hopped on Mt. Nokogiri, Mt. Otake san and Mt. Mitake. It was quite an adventurous trek but beautiful views at Otake summit was worth taking some pains during the rough hiking areas. Some patches between Atago shrine to Nokogiri summit are specially challenging. Make sure you carry sufficient food and liquids are there is almost nothing until you reach Mitake.. Definitely a must try route!

The hike was scenic, not very difficult even now in February, but of course do not underestimate it especially when going down, it might be very slippery on the wet snow. There are passages with only a narrow path and a steep slope on the side but there are chains. I wasn t lucky with the weather, the view from the top was just milk all around:)...

Really good hike, and the beauty of Odake-san is that you can do a long or a short hike since there are a lot of trails. The terrain gets rocky and treacherous close to the top, so don't forget your hiking shoes.

Windy and rainy conditions when we went so couldn’t see much. It was super foggy when we were hiking too. We decided to take the shortest route to Odake which was rather steep but had to turn back due to it being closed off basically half way. We went via the rock garden route. There’s a few sections with chains too.

Nice hike to the peak of Mt Otake from Mt Mitake. But do take note that it gets very foggy closer to the peak (specifically from the Otake Shrine to peak) on a rainy day. Due to the typhoon hagibis, some parts of the trail has been damaged/closed (Nanayonotaki Waterfall)

The falls are beautiful, with a stronger current than the close-by Ayahiro falls. However, the descent is very steep, and at several points there are tall steps to go down or roots and rocks making the terrain tricky without good shoes. The area right by the falls is very slippery, so be careful there!

There is a quite a descent to get there as there are many, tall steps required to get to the falls but in the end the view is quite amazing, also watch your feet as the place is quite slippery

Nothing great about the falls. The hike to and from the place is the only good bit.

Small waterfall but the water is amazingly clear. The way it has cut through the rockside is fascinating. Climbing too it from Mount Mitake requires quite a bit of strength as the way is very steep and is mostly made up of stairs.

I came in winter, and there were still some autumn coloured leaves. It was a wonderful tranquil place. However if you have bad knees or bad balance please be careful down the steep path.

😅

Pretty nice - it's better to start your round trip from here than end here

Beautiful views of the Tama River from inside and outside. Interesting collection of antique combs and hair pins.

Interesting and fun

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed a large amount of beautiful hairpins and cosmetics. There are several items that I saw at special exhibitions at art museums in Tokyo, and they are available for loan from here. The scenery from inside the hotel is also wonderful! There are vending machines on the lower floor, so you can relax while looking at the scenery. (Original) 大量の美しいかんざしや化粧品を堪能させていただきました。東京の美術館の企画展で見たものも数点ありここから貸し出ししているようです 館内からの風景も素晴らしい！下のフロアには自販機があり景色を見ながらゆっくりすごせます

(Translated by Google) I visited on July 24th. The inside of the museum is very well maintained and there are beautiful hairpins, netsuke, combs, etc. on display. On hot days, the air conditioning is on and you can enjoy the view comfortably. When you enter the building, you can see the beautiful backyard and the spectacular view of the Tama River through the glass on the back. Boat or canoe this time of year? You can also enjoy the sight of rafting. On the first floor, there are vending machines and open table seats, providing a relaxing space. At first, I thought the 600 yen admission fee was expensive, but personally I feel like I got my money's worth ^_^ (Original) 7月24日に訪れました｡ 館内はとても綺麗に整備されていて綺麗なかんざし、根付、櫛などが展示してあります。 暑い日は空調が効いていて気持ち良く観覧できます。 建物に入ると裏側がガラス貼りで美しい裏庭や多摩川の絶景が一望できます。 この時期ボートやカヌー？でラフティングをしている光景もまることができます。 一階降りたフロアーには自動販売機がありテーブル席も開放されていてのんびり出来る空間が提供されています｡ 最初、入館料600円は高いかなと思いましたが私的には充分元が取れた感じです^_^

(Translated by Google) This is my first visit. The museum displays works collected by the late Okazaki Tomoyo (1924-1999), who was born in Gion, became a maiko, and later charmed many people as the proprietress of a traditional Japanese restaurant in Tokyo. I was able to see many precious hairpins. The view of the valley from the garden was also nice. *This museum is eligible for the Ome City x PayPay campaign in October 2022, but please note that PayPay cannot be used for admission tickets...Only the souvenir shop inside the museum offers a 30% rebate with PayPay. In addition to hairpins, they also sold local sake from Ome City. (Original) 初訪問になります。 祇園に生まれ、舞妓となり、後に東京で料亭の女将として多くの人を魅了した故岡崎智予さん（1924－1999）が収集した作品が展示されています。 貴重なかんざしがたくさん見れました。 庭園からの渓谷の眺めも良かったです。 ※2022 10月青梅市×PayPayの対象なんですが入場券にはPayPayは使用出来ませんのでご注意を…PayPayで30％還元されるのは館内のお土産屋だけです。 かんざしだけでは無く青梅市の地酒なんかも販売していました。

(Translated by Google) I was disappointed that it was closed the last time I visited. This time, I encountered an antelope on the sidewalk next to the parking lot entrance, which is sometimes seen in the museum's garden and is designated as a national natural monument, and I was moved. The exhibition of combs, hairpins, makeup tools, etc. in the museum is also wonderful. I bought a cute comb netsuke souvenir and was very satisfied. (Original) 前回の訪問時は、お休みで残念でしたが、 今回は美術館のお庭で時おり見られるという、国の天然記念物指定にもなっているカモシカ、に駐車場入口横の歩道で出会い、感動しました。 美術館内の櫛かんざし、化粧道具などの展示も素敵で、 可愛らしい櫛の根付のお土産を購入し、大満足でした。

(Translated by Google) You can easily recognize it from the beautiful, large white building facing Yoshino Kaido. I had been curious about it for a while, but I just passed by it (because I was on a bicycle), but wow! Bicyclists will receive a 100 yen discount on admission. There was also a cycle rack. Ozawa Sake Brewery in Sawanoi seems to be doing it, but they don't advertise their alcohol at all. I think it's great. A collection of combs and hairpins from the Edo period to the Showa period. I've never had Japanese hair done before, but since she explains the hairstyles using wigs, I can get an idea of ​​how to use them. I was astonished by the splendor of Edo period craftsmanship, and immersed myself in a small world where each pattern expressed the seasons and nature. It's also wonderful to see the Tama River from the large windows in the lobby. There is also a spacious rest area, so I think it would be a good idea to stop by during your hike. (Original) 吉野街道に面した綺麗で大きな白い建物ですぐにわかります。前から気になってたのに素通りしてました(自転車なので…)が、なんと！ 自転車の人は入館料100円引きだそうです。サイクルラックもありました。 澤乃井の小澤酒造さんがやってらっしやいますが、お酒の宣伝は全く無しです。偉いな～と思います。 江戸時代から昭和の櫛とかんざしのコレクション。日本髪を結うことなんて無いけれど、かつらで髪型を解説してくれているので、どんな風に使うのかイメージが湧きます。 江戸時代の技巧の素晴らしさに目を見張り、模様の一つ一つに季節や自然を表した小さな世界に浸りました。 ロビーの大きな窓から多摩川が見えるのも素敵です。休憩スペースもゆったりしているので、ハイキングの途中に立ち寄っても良いかなと思います。

This was the first hike of my life, and I absolutely loved it! The trail follows a river, and you can hear the sound of waterfalls along the way, which made it really refreshing and peaceful. The total hike took us about 6 hours and covered around 16 km, not including rest or lunch breaks. We went on a weekend, but it wasn’t crowded at all. I think this hike is great even for beginners. You can get there easily, just take a train to Okutama Station, then a short 15-minute bus ride to the starting point. There’s also a beautiful viewpoint along the way that’s worth stopping for. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a nature escape near Tokyo!

Peak of mountain is ok but path is just filled with greenery and river alongside the route. Enjoyable hiking experience. Recommended to hike during summer time.

Very pleasant hike and the Hyakuhiro waterfall is incredible especially in winter. Plenty of space at the top to have a break and some good views on the surrounding mountains (depending on weather). Took the bus from Okutama to Kawanoribashi, from there the ascent might be a bit tough for people who have height anxiety, as there are many wooden and steel bridges and the trail runs along the ridge. A bit slippery with snow and some steps might be hidden with snow/leaves. Descended down to Hatonosu, this trail is easy and goes through the forest without any major views. Totally recommend as one day hike for people with at least some experience and level of fitness.

Mount Kawanori is a best destination for one day hike. The final destination is beautiful. One can enjoy nature far from busy Tokyo.

The best day hike to Mt. Kawanori can be a very good hike and experience.

Fall started at the summit

(Translated by Google) Be very careful on the road from the entrance of Kawamosaki Mountain to the waterfall. It is slippery and narrow. Some sections are not only narrow but also have cliffs next to them. You must pay attention to safety. There are many rocks on the trail at the top of the mountain. If you go down the mountain to Hatonosu Station, there are also many gravels of different sizes. Be careful not to slip. (Original) 从川苔山登山口到瀑布的那段路要非常小心，湿滑，路窄，有些路段不仅路窄旁边就是悬崖，一定要注意安全，随后山顶步道很多很石头，下山方向如果是鸠之巢站的步道大小碎石也很多， 小心不要滑倒

It was a long hike but definitely worth it. Sceneries were so beautiful and it was an amazing feeling to be in this nature. Some areas could be slippery but overall the path was clear and not difficult to hike.

Good place to visit. It only takes 30-40 minutes from the temple/shrine. You can picnic and take some food.

Enjoying a bunch of beautiful autumn colors throughout the mountain trekking of Mt. Mitake and the artificial/natural rock garden in Tokyo.

Well worth the visit after you hike to the shrine. Your dogs will love it! :) Right now you can't make the full circle as part of the path has been damaged by an earthquake.

One of my favorite hiking trails, just outside of Tokyo! Suitable for beginners. Wear proper footwear as the rocks are slippery in places. Great for a day trip.

Beautiful hike! I was there during winter season (January) and still thoroughly enjoyed. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be during the other seasons.

The scenery at the rock garden looks straight from Princess Mononoke. The most beautiful part of the hike in Mt. Mitake

Beautiful scenery but not impressive structure; great place for meditation.

Very valuable temple. No commercial, No sightseeing. Just totally follow the original.

I do hope "Max" to rest in peace 2011-03-03, as a part of me.

Nothign much to see here, but maybe good for a short stroll

Spectacular location...

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine on a holiday morning. By chance, there were no other visitors there, so I was able to spend a peaceful time. However, what made the biggest impression on me was seeing a Japanese serow near the shrine's parking lot. There were two of them lined up on a cliff, but one of them quickly ran away after I approached carelessly. I was glad that I managed to take a photo of the remaining one. (Original) 休日の午前中に参拝しました。 たまたま他に参拝客はおらず、穏やかな一時を過ごしました。 けれど1番印象に残ったのは、神社の駐車場の近くでニホンカモシカに会えたことでした。 崖上に2頭並んでいましたが、こちらが不用意に近寄ってしまったために1頭はすぐに逃げてしまいました。 残った1頭を何とか写真を撮ることが出来てよかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's a mysterious shrine that stands quietly in a place that feels like a hidden village. I finally found a parking lot and headed to the shrine on foot, but there were only a few people there, so I was able to pray at my own pace. (Original) まるで隠れ里のような場所にひっそりと佇む不思議な神社です。 やっと駐車場を探し、そこから徒歩で神社に向かいましたが、訪れる人も少なく、ゆっくりお参りできました。

Lovely cafe with a gorgeous view of Hatonosu Ravine. It’s on one end of the suspension bridge, so it’s an ideal stop for a nature walk. Service is a big slow but the food is both delicious and healthy!

Re: Coffee with best view The view you can see from the cafe is beautiful, chilling and relaxing. Very interesting types of their original coffee make you fun! Lovely Japanese interiors makes you so comfy. Just one thing is that kitchen needs to be organized?

The food are a little bit overpriced comparing to the portion. The taste is standard. Quite a local one, so there are not many staffs. We were waiting for an hour for food. However, the service is friendly and this cafe has such a stunning view!

Soup Curry is great and the female boss is really nice! :)

They don't have a great variety and the food is overpriced,but the place is really beautiful with a nice view on the river. I would recommend this place to rest a bit and drink a coffee. EDIT: Went back two years later. It seems that they didn't clean the restaurant in all this time.

Nice window view and homey food.

Closed at 11 am on a Saturday morning.

I found this cafe coincidentally while I was walking along the river. The ambiance is very relaxing while sitting at the terrace and watch the beatiful scenery of the autumn leaves. There are not many options for foods especially people who don’t like raw meat like me, but there are nice deserts to eat with a coffee. Overall, it’s a nice place to give a break while hiking along the river.

Visited this soot on Saturday for lunch. Waited roughly an hour then got seated to the table. I ordered their #1 recommended menu and it was good but the soup was too salty and the price didn’t match the taste in my opinion. I guess that’s because of the location...? It was still good to try this out once but there might not be second visit.

The roast beef don was great, but quite expensive...

Delicious New Zealand dishes and beautiful river view!

(Translated by Google) The parking lot is just inside the sign, but it's a little hard to tell if it's the right place. It's tucked away past the art museum. I wonder if they do rafting there? There's lots of equipment. You can relax on the calm terrace seats. It's a bit pricey, but it's perfect for an occasional sightseeing stop. You can occasionally see trains. Volcano's roast beef is filling and has a lot of meat, and goes perfectly with the wasabi sauce. The seaweed soup with a hint of ginger was also delicious. (Original) 看板から入ってすぐの駐車場だけど、ここでいいのかわかりづらい感じ。 美術館をすり抜けて奥まった場所。 ラフティングができるのかな？道具がたくさん。 落ち着いたテラス席でまったりできます。 お値段は高めだけど、たまの観光がてらに最適。 時折電車が見える。 ボルケーノのローストビーフは肉量が多くて食べ応えがあり、ワサビソースとのマッチング最高です。 生姜の効いたワカメスープも美味しかった。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from eating kamameshi. The shop is located at the back of the art museum. It was a weekday afternoon, so there weren't many people and it was quiet. I enjoyed a leisurely coffee while chatting. What is Volcano Roast Beef? I'm intrigued. I'd like to visit for lunch next time. (Original) 釜飯を食べに行った帰りに立ち寄りました。美術館の奥にあるお店です。平日の午後だったので人が少なくて静かでした。お喋りしながらゆっくり珈琲を楽しめました。ボルケーノローストビーフとは？興味が湧きました。今度はランチで訪れてみたいと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I was attracted by a photo of their delicious roast beef and visited. They're only open from 11:00 to 16:00, so I adjusted my schedule to accommodate. The parking lot is small, so I had to wait in line. However, the complicated layout of the lot makes lining up difficult. In the end, someone cut in line, which put a damper on my enthusiasm. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but it's a little hot. Soup and water are self-service. I ordered roast beef and coconut curry. Both looked just as delicious as the photos! I had high hopes! The wasabi sauce for the roast beef is served on a separate plate, so it's perfect for families with children. But...the overall flavor wasn't to my liking. I wonder. Was the roast beef a little overcooked? Was the flavor unbalanced? (The rice would have been better if it had more flavor.) The curry was clearly bland. I asked for salt and ate it. Hmm. The atmosphere is nice, and the ingredients are good. It was a disappointing feeling. (Original) 美味しそうなローストビーフの写真に惹かれて訪問。11〜16時しか空いてないので、行けるように予定を調整。 駐車場が狭く、駐車で順番待ち。 が、複雑な形の駐車場なので整列が難しい。結局横入りされてしまって出鼻を挫かれる。 店内はいい雰囲気。ただ、少し暑い。 スープやお水はセルフサービス。 ローストビーフとココナッツカレーをオーダー。 どちらも写真通り美味しそう！期待大！ ローストビーフのわさびソースは、掛けずに別皿で用意ができる。子供連れには優しい。 が、、、全体的に味が口に合わず。 なんだろうな。ローストビーフは、少し火が通り過ぎ？味のバランスが悪い？（ライスに味が付いて居たほうがよい感じ） カレーは明らかに味が薄い。塩をもらってかけて食べた。 うーん。雰囲気は良いし、料理の素材も良いと思うんだけどな。残念な感じでした。

we went there for dinner. very tasty food! helpful and polite staff! mind that they charge 680yen per seating and they force you to order one drink per person! a bit pricey

Had a great lunch here. The fried rainbow trout (nijimasu) set was delicious. The price was very good, 1500 yen. The staff was also kind. Seems like a popular place with the local workers who take lunch at exactly 12, so consider going a few minutes before that.

Very friendly, clean and all the food was delicious! One of the owners even helps translate to English using a mobile and recommends tasty/popular items. I posted many photos for reference. The other name on Apple Maps is Robata Akabeko.

Lovely Japanese Teishoku ✨ Had it for a lunch time. The interior is very Japanese traditional style and clean!! In addition it was a good atmosphere.

Great place! Very kind personel and helped us with google translator to tell us the dishes name and description. Very good trout fish grilled! Highly recommended

Small restaurant located in the same building of Arasawaya Inn. Delicious yakizakana, seasonal tempura, cream cheese with miso and wasabi gelatto. Cozy ambient playing Jazz BGM. Price around ¥3,500 per person.

The atmosphere is nice and food decent but way too overpriced for the quality. Asked for extra rice and they charged me an extra 150¥… cmon Keep in mine that this is one of the rare restaurants open in the area so they might be taking advantage of this.

We found the trail up to the shrine on our way to Okutama Station. It was just a 15 minute walk to reach the top—very peaceful.

This is an excellent culmination of a potential day trip out of Tokyo. Not for kids or the feint of heart. Overall beautiful and slightly spooky.

(Translated by Google) There are long stairs, so I think it's better to come around from the riverside direction. There is a place where you can see Mt. Mutsuishi at the top. 2023/9/24 I came down from Mt. Nokogiri, visited again, and had dinner at the rest space. 2024/9/10 (Original) 長い階段があるので、川沿いの方から回って来る方が良いと思います。上に六ツ石山が見える所があります。2023/9/24 鋸山から降りててきて再訪して、レストスペースで夕飯。2024/9/10

(Translated by Google) From Okutama Station, it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach the beautiful five-storied pagoda and the main shrine. Continue on the upward path. There is a fairly steep stone staircase with 188 steps along the way, but you have to climb a step-like slope to get there, so it's almost a climb all the way. It can be quite difficult if you are not used to hills. When I went from this road in mid-July, I was captivated by the large white mountain lilies blooming on the slope in front of the tower. If you go down on the other side, you will see a guardian dog and a torii gate, so this side is originally the front. I prayed for safety on the long saw ridge ahead. I wonder if that's the right position. (Original) 奥多摩駅からだと徒歩20分ほどできれいな五重塔、そして本殿に着きます。ひたすら上り道を進みます。途中に188段のかなり急な石の階段がありますが、そこに行くまでにも階段状の坂道を登るので、ほぼずっと登山です。坂道に慣れていないとなかなか大変でしょう。7月中旬にこの道から行ったら、塔の手前の斜面に大輪の白いヤマユリがいくつも咲いていて目を奪われました。反対側に下ると狛犬と鳥居があるので、本来はこちら側が正面です。この先長い鋸尾根の無事を願って行きました。そういう位置付けでいいのかな。

(Translated by Google) Atago Shrine is at the top of the tower after climbing steep stone steps. The view is blocked by trees, so we recommend viewing from the lower tower. From here, the bridge on the Clock Trail route is in danger of collapsing, so we will take a detour. (Original) 急登の石段を抜け塔より上に愛宕神社です。 眺望は木々に阻まれるので、下の塔からがオススメ。 ここから時計トレイルルートの橋は崩落の危険の為に迂回ルートを行きます。

(Translated by Google) The shrine itself is quite ordinary. There is a parking space about 3 minutes south of the worship hall, but I personally recommend starting from the base of the stairs, as the main part of the shrine is a steep one. (Original) 神社自体はいたって普通。拝殿から南に3分くらい下ったところに駐車スペースがありますが、個人的にはここのメインは急な階段なので、麓から登っていくのがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) It's at the end of the stairs, so I feel a sense of accomplishment (^^) (Original) 階段を登りきった先にあるので、なんか達成感あります(^^)

A great spot to relax and enjoy nature! The well-maintained campsite has plenty of spots, and while reservations can be made on their website, you can usually secure a spot by arriving early. Facilities include clean bathrooms, coin-operated showers, a dishwashing area, and an assigned trash area. They also offer camping essentials like charcoal, ice, and firewood for purchase. Direct fire is allowed.

Excellent campsite. It has a store where you can buy firewood and supplies needed for your stay. It was also very secure as there were guards patrolling during our camping stay. It had also good access to the river and wonderful view. Sadly no swimming allowed due to strong river current.

🇯🇵⛺It was a perfect nature escape just about 2 hours from central Tokyo! 🌄 The campsite is set right next to the beautifully clear Tama River, surrounded by lush green mountains. It’s an ideal spot for anyone looking to unwind in nature. 🏕️ 🌿 Whether you're new to camping or a nature enthusiast, This place is super beginner-friendly and full of charm. Would definitely recommend this spot if you’re craving a break from the city! 🍃💚

I went there on the 5th of August and set up an overnight camp on the riverbed tent area. I have only used the tent area therefore will only speak of the tent area. I was surprised to see that many people on a Tuesday but a large majority of them (about 90%) didn't stay overnight. It's a camping site where you set your tent up wherever you want so you can try to identify people that won't stay overnight by looking at their gear and set your tent up accordingly (where you want to end up after 5pm when most people go home/wake up at in the morning, not where you want to start your day if you check in relatively late) so you won't have to move your setup later. ⊛A few positive things: ⁂ Relatively long but very easily accessible from Shinjuku Station. ⁂ I thought it would be very warm at night but I did turn my portable fan off at night(33 degrees Celsius during the day, about 22-23 at night). ⁂ The water was very clear and I was able to swim in the river. It was very refreshing (watch out for strong current zones) ⁂ You can fish if you purchase a fishing permit. ⁂ Very close to the Okutama Train station, 1 convenience store (not 24h) and a small butcher. ⁂ Camp fire anywhere you want. ⁂⁂ Shower (cold or hot) for 200 jpy/4 minutes which was very, very refreshing before sleeping. ⊛A few negative things I had to deal with: ⁂ Might sound funny but I had to fight off a very stubborn horsefly that kept coming for me every 30-60 mins. These things bite and suck your blood, are pretty big and their bite hurts. It seemed to only come for me even though there were people that had tents around me (I usually am "the buffet"). I did the research afterwards and all I can say is DON'T wear black/dark uv protection clothes and use DEET-based (at least 30–50%) or picaridin repellents on exposed skin and clothing. ⁂ This camp for some reason seems to attract non Japanese people. There was a group of an ethnic group I won't mention that was loud even after 1am, even when passing close to my tent to go to the restroom. Shining their torch, phone flashlights without caring about where they were aiming. I had to ask them to be quiet and they did. Now, I could've just gone and spoke to nightshift guy instead of talking to them myself but ⁂ it's quite a workout to go from the riverbed to the reception after a long day.

We spent a night at Hikawa Campsite in a cabin with six adults. The cabin was reasonably sized and priced, equipped with cots for everyone. While it lacked air conditioning, it did have a refrigerator and a fan. The absence of air conditioning could be an issue in the summer, but fortunately, the weather was pleasant during our stay. One downside was the absence of a private fire pit near our cabin. Although there was a barbecue area, it was quite busy with loud college students. So, we opted to set up a barbecue by the riverside, though it was a bit of a challenge due to the steep terrain and the need to carry heavy coolers. The staff were incredibly friendly, and they offered affordable firewood and fireworks for purchase. The restroom facilities were surprisingly clean for a campsite. Additionally, the campsite had a designated garbage disposal area, which was a welcome convenience not often found at other sites. The only disappointment was the steep parking fee of 1,400 yen per car. Unfortunately, there was no way to avoid this fee, especially when carrying a lot of camping gear. Overall, I'd rate the cabin and the atmosphere a 4/5, but I have to deduct one point for the lack of a private fire area near the cabin and the high parking cost.

The cabins are great, with all the expected amenities. Service is excellent; however it is quite expensive. Overall, well recommended.

It's a great place.. if you miss any thing, you can rent from the camp site. Many foreigners there as well.

This is one of the most iconic rural train stations in the Tokyo area. It offers the perfect sight of a traditional looking train station, combined with the view of the nearby mountains and the surrounding town. There are toilets available around the corner, and they are quite clean too. The station gets its fair share of passengers on the weekends, but it's not terribly busy despite only having a single gate. If you're going to the mountains or coming back, I hope you will enjoy this unique beautiful sight as much as I did.

Small and nice station

Nice surrounds. Come here for changing leaves.

(Translated by Google) Hatonosu Station was established as a passenger station on July 1, 1944 (Showa 19) when the Ministry of Transport and Communications opened the Ome Line between Ontake and Hikawa (later Okutama). The current wooden station building is from the original opening, and features log pillars, stone wall panels, and diagonally laid planks. It has the lowest average daily passenger numbers in Tokyo. There are two restaurants in front of the station, and a large kamameshi restaurant along the road. (Original) 鳩ノ巣駅は、1944年（昭和19年）7月1日、運輸通信省が青梅線の御嶽–氷川間（後の奥多摩）を開業した際に旅客駅として設置されました。現在の木造駅舎は開業当時からのもので、丸太の柱や石壁の腰、斜め張りの板材などを使用。1日平均乗車人員は東京都では一番少ない駅です。 駅前には２軒ほど飲食店があり、道路沿いには大型の釜飯店があり。

(Translated by Google) An unmanned station surrounded by nature. The platform is covered, so it's safe even on rainy days. However, to get to the up-bound platform, you have to climb an uncovered staircase. There's a set meal restaurant called Ohashiya near the station, and it has drink vending machines. (Original) 自然いっぱいの場所にある無人駅 ホームに屋根があるので雨の日でも安心 ただし上りホームに行くには屋根なし階段登っていく必要がある 駅近くの大橋屋という定食屋に飲料自販機などがある

(Translated by Google) This station on the JR Ome Line is the closest to the tourist spot, Hatonosu Valley. The wooden station building matches well with the natural surroundings of Okutama, making it a beautiful sight. You can use Suica here, but please note that it is an unmanned station with no ticket vending machines and so you cannot charge your card. (Original) JR青梅線の駅で、観光スポット・鳩ノ巣渓谷の最寄り駅です。 奥多摩の大自然に良くマッチした木造の駅舎が素敵ですね。 Suicaは利用できますが、無人駅で券売機も無いためチャージができない点に注意してください。

Cool bridge but it shows signs of aging, some of the wooden planks are rotting and broken, careful when crossing the bridge.

(Translated by Google) For safety reasons, there is a limit of 2 people (lol). When you cross, you can hear the sound of chafing and it's a thrilling experience. Please cross at your own risk. (Original) 安全上2人までって(笑)渡ると気が擦れる音がしてスリル満点です。自己責任で渡ってください。

(Translated by Google) It was a great view. This bridge is more solid than Shidakura Bridge, which is a little further down the road, so if you are not good at suspension bridges, we recommend this one. The roads along the way are narrow, so I think it would be difficult to get there by car. I think it would be better to go by bike or on foot. (Original) 最高の景色でした。 もう少し行った所にある「しだくら橋」よりしっかりしている橋のため、吊り橋苦手な方はこちらをお勧めします。 道中の道は狭いので車だと大変だと思います。バイクや徒歩で行かれる方が良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) You can rest assured that there is little shaking and it is easy to cross. (Although we cannot guarantee it) The route to get there is narrow and it is difficult for even light vehicles to pass each other. This is a place where you need to be careful not to disturb the residents. (Original) 揺れも少なく渡りやすいのが安心出来ます。(保証は出来ませんが)たどり着く迄の経路は細く、軽自動車でもすれ違うのが大変な場所です。住民の方に迷惑にならないように、注意が必要な場所ですね。

(Translated by Google) November 15, 2020 Suspension bridge near Lake Okutama on Okutama Mukashimichi A spot where you can see beautiful autumn leaves🍁 on both sides of the valley. There are people who walk, people who ride bicycles, and people who ride bikes. It would be best not to drive as the road is narrow and there is no space to park. The area around this area is paved, so it's a nice road to walk through slowly. Because this is an old road, there are dead leaves, branches, and pebbles on the edge of the road, and the asphalt is cracked, and you may pass pedestrians, so if you are riding a bicycle or motorbike, be sure to drive slowly!

(Translated by Google) #2021/9/22 This is a suspension bridge along Okutama Mukashido. Of the two, the one on the Okutama Lake side. A note states that only three people can cross at the same time.

(Translated by Google) This is a small museum in Okutama Town, and when I visited, it was a free exhibition of works by people who are members of the Okutama Town Federation of Cultural Organizations. There is a fee for works by famous people, but at 300 yen, it is very cheap, but I am worried about whether they will be able to maintain the museum. Because it matches the forest of wooden houses. There is a riverside cafe awa right next door, where you can eat while looking at the clear waters of the Tama River. (Original) 奥多摩町立のこじんまりした美術館、訪問時は奥多摩町の文化団体連盟に加入されている人たちの作品展で無料でした。有名人の作品の場合は有料ですが、なんと￥300でとても格安ですが、美術館を維持していけるのか心配です。木造家屋の森林にマッチしているので。すぐ隣にリバーサイドカフェawaがあり、多摩川の清流を見ながら食事ができます。

(Translated by Google) It's a small and quiet museum. The surrounding maple leaves were bright red and very beautiful. At that time, the works of Hisasuke Ishiyama were on display. He himself was there and explained various works. The work was wonderful, but I was really impressed with the artist's personality. We had fun talking about how his house was hit by an avalanche, but he miraculously survived. If I have a chance, I would like to visit Midoriyama Kosha. (Original) 小さくて静かな美術館です。周りのもみじが真っ赤に色付いていてとてもきれいでした。ちょうど、石山久輔さんの作品が展示されていました。ご本人もおられて色々な作品を解説していただきました。作品も素晴らしかったですが、ご本人の人柄にすごく好感がもてました。家が雪崩にあったが奇跡の生還を果たされたお話等、楽しくお話しさせていただきました。機会があれば、緑山小舎に伺いたいです。

(Translated by Google) I came here to take a break after eating at the cafe awa next door.

(Translated by Google) Okutama Town art museum. In fact, it might be better to call it a gallery. A small art museum located upstream from the Mitake Art Museum on the Ome Kaido Road. The parking lot can accommodate about 10 cars. The entrance is downhill, so go slowly. It is a wooden structure built on a slope. The entrance is on the second floor, and the structure is such that you can descend to the first floor. Because it is built on a slope, there are some areas where the rock surface is exposed. When I visited, a solo exhibition by a local lacquer artist was being held. It is also possible to go out to the balcony on the first floor. The toilet (according to the exhibition at that time) is on the second floor to the right of the hearth. There is a corner next to the ticket office (inside the exhibition room) where you can find cards and notes. The Mitake Art Museum and the Gyokudo Art Museum are also nearby, so I think it would be a good idea to visit them together. (Original) 奥多摩町立の美術館。実際、ギャラリーといったほうがいいかもしれない。青梅街道の御岳美術館より川上にある小さな美術館。駐車場は、10台くらいは停められます。入り口は下り坂になっているので、徐行で。斜面に木造建築で建っている。2階に入口があり、1階に降りるような構造となっている。斜面に建って関係で、一部岩肌がむき出しの所もある。 訪れたときは、地元在住の漆芸作家の方の個展が行われていた。1階のバルコニーに出ることも可能。(そのときの展示による)トイレは、2階の囲炉裏の右手に。カードや一筆箋などがチケット売り場の脇(展示室内)に、コーナーを設けてある。御岳美術館や玉堂美術館も近いので、一緒に廻っても好いと思う。

The view is more than expected.

A recreation of the floating drum bridge.

(Translated by Google) Drums that were once used for the Mugiyama and Tomoura floating bridges are on display outdoors. Floating bridges were built to help people cross to the other side. (Originally there was a road, but it has been submerged under water) Buckets used in dam construction are also on display next to it. (Original) かつて、麦山と留浦の浮き橋に使われていたドラム缶が野外展示されています。 浮き橋は、対岸へ渡るために設置されました。(元々は道がありましたが、水没ています) 隣にはダム建設で使用したバケットも展示されています。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by after coming to Ogouchi Dam. It is located on the left side when you cross the dam embankment. There are drums that were used for floating bridges. There is an origin of the floating bridge. There are floating bridges in two places: Mugiyama and Tomoura. This floating bridge was installed as an alternative to the access route to the opposite shore, which was submerged under water due to the construction of the dam. It is now made of polyethylene Styrofoam.

(Translated by Google) There are two floating bridges on Lake Okutama. Mugiyama Floating Bridge near Ogouchi Shrine, and Tomoura Floating Bridge near the prefectural border with Yamanashi. Both bridges are floating on the surface of the lake using floats, allowing you to enjoy the feeling of walking on the surface of the water and the wonderful scenery from the surface of the lake. Currently, both floating bridges use polyethylene floats, but when they were first installed, drums were used. A portion of the actual floating bridge from that time is on display here. Next to it is an actual bucket that was used to pour concrete into the Ogouchi Dam embankment body, and it serves as a document that tells the history of Ogouchi Dam and Lake Okutama. (Original) 奥多摩湖には二つの浮橋がある。小河内神社そばの麦山浮橋、山梨との都県境近くにある留浦浮橋だ。いずれも浮きによって湖面に浮かべられた橋で、水面を歩いているような感覚と湖面からの素晴らしい景色を楽しむことができる。 現在、両浮橋にはポリエチレン製の浮きが使用されているが、設置当初はドラム缶が使用されていた。 当時の実際の浮橋の一部が、この場所に展示されている。 隣には小河内ダム堤体へのコンクリート打ち込みで使用されたバケットの実物も置かれ、小河内ダム、奥多摩湖の歴史を物語る資料となっている。

Was a great hike. Did early October 2020. Unfortunately, cloudy, so we couldn't see Mt. Fuji. Maybe for the first hike during a long pause due to coronavirus a bit too much with 900m height increase, but manageable. The Mugiyamauki pontoon Bridge was unfortunately closed at Okutama lake due Tor repairs plus a bear sighting.

Nice place to visit from Tokyo especially for beginner hiking people.

An awesome gateway and beautiful mountain to be on. Rounded up with An onsen down near and yum Bowl of Ramen and Sake

Short little hike, suitable for a half-day trip. You never leave Tokyo limits!

Very arduous but rewarding hike. Lots of areas where the trail is difficult to find and many steep paths. There's a wooden observatory deck built at the peak to see the view above the trees.

Good Hiking Inside the Tokyo. Can go one day from okutama.

Mt. Mito summit hike. Very nice trails less than 7km from parking lot to summit and back.

A nice place to visit with plenty of free parking, a museum, and a few other points of interest.

A Peaceful Escape from Tokyo Just a two-hour trip from central Tokyo, Ogochi Dam in Okutama is the perfect getaway for nature lovers. Surrounded by the beautiful Lake Okutama, the dam offers stunning views and great hiking trails. Whether you visit during autumn for the vibrant foliage or in spring for cherry blossoms, the scenery is breathtaking year-round.

On a slightly cloudy day, this dam offers one of the most amazing views of nature, water, mountains and the dam itself. This dramatic scene looks almost too perfect to be real, like an artifical background for a movie scene or a painting. It is beautiful to observe and walk around the dam/lake at a time like this and just witness this marvel of nature. There is also an observatory, but it's basically just a 3 floors tall tower that doesn't provide a whole lot of extra view since the lake and dam are just so vast to begin with. However, it offers a slightly different perspective, there is an exposition about the dam and the entrance is free, so you might as well check it out if you visit at the right time. Regardless, this dam is always worth checking out for its absolutely stunning scenery.

Beautiful place to visit. Two parking spots at separate locations. Great for walking or hiking. I will bring my family back to here again in fall.

A big dam with awesome nature and scenery all around it. There is an information center and a 2 storied free observatory also.

water reservoir for Tokyo, and amazingly this is still part of Tokyo. only took 2 hours by train to this place from Shinjuku Station. check my post on instagram @silvanohajid to know more photos, videos and stories about this place

If you are visiting Okutama I recommend you stop by this very cool scenery. There is a small museum in the control tower don't miss it.

Enjoying the beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and a bunch of beautiful yellow flowers at the peak of Mt. Takanosu. It was so hard to reach the peak, because it took me about 3 hours for 1180 m of elevation !

Climbing via Mt Kurato in February, there is still a significant amount of snow along the ridge. Make sure to bring crampons or spikes for the icy path. View of Mt Fuji and surrounding area was fantastic and well worth the journey.

Mt Takanosu offers breathtaking views on the south side. Other peaks of Okutama mountains - Gozenyama, Odake, Mito and Tanzawa mountains beyond can be seen on a clear day. Tōkyō peace pagoda at Mt Odera and iconic Mt Fuji gives a spectacular view. A variety of wild flowers bloom in summer.

Takanosu mountain is the perfect place for mountain lovers,if you came here please carry a kit for mountain climber.

The ascend is tough but it's a nice view from the top.

(Translated by Google) A circular route that climbs Mt. Takanosu from Mizune, follows the stone ridge to Mt. Rokkushi, and descends from Mt. Rokkushi to Mizune. I thought it would be easier to hike Mt. Takanosu for the first time in 10 years than the last time I walked the Inamura Rock Ridge, but as I've gotten older for 10 years and my physical strength has declined, it wasn't easy at all. Also, the descent from Mt. Roppishi to Mizune was steep, and since I am not good at descending, I could not increase my speed at all. It wasn't an easy hike, but it was fun😸 (Original) 水根から鷹ノ巣山に登り、石尾根を六ッ石山までたどって、六ッ石山から水根に下る周回ルート。１０年ぶりの鷹ノ巣山は、稲村岩尾根を歩いた前回よりも楽だろうと高を括っていましたが、１０年も歳をとって体力が落ちているので、全く楽ではありませんでした。また、六ッ石山から水根への下りも勾配がきつく、下りが苦手なボクはちっともスピードが上がりませんでした。 楽な山行ではなかったけれど、あ～楽しかった😸

(Translated by Google) It is not an easy mountain. The climb up the Inamuraiwa Ridge and the descent down the Mizunezawa forest road are quite tough. (Original) 楽な山ではないです。稲村岩尾根登り水根沢林道下りでそこそこ辛いと思います。

Take a look while in Okutama. 3 minute walk from the station.

Small shrine with a big tree.

(Translated by Google) 2025.3 Together with Hikawa Shrine and Nakahikawa Shrine, it is called ``Musashi Mihikawa,'' and it is said that the main shrine, middle shrine, and inner shrine are located in a straight line. There is a plaza in front of the main shrine, where a game of gateball was being played when I visited. There was also a meeting place within the precincts, so it seems to be a place of relaxation for the local community. This is unmanned all year round, and goshuin stamps are accepted at the following facilities. Monday to Saturday ⇒ Ichimatsu Nikuten Sunday ⇒ Okutama Town Tourist Information Center [Enshrined deity] Susanoo no Mikoto Strange Inada Hime (Kushinada Hime) 【honorable history】 It is said that it originated from a shrine that Japan Takeru enshrined during his eastern expedition, and was revived as ``Okuhikawa Daimyojin'' in 860 by the Izumo tribe of Mujashikokuzo. In 1986, the name was changed to Okuhikawa Shrine. (Original) 2025.3 氷川神社と中氷川神社とともに「武蔵三氷川」と呼ばれ、一直線に並んで本社・中社・奥社の関係になっているとも言われています。 本殿の前は広場になっており、訪問時はゲートボールが行われていました。 境内に集会所もあったので、普段は地域の憩いの場となっているようです。 こちらは通年無人となっており、御朱印は下記の施設で受付をしています。 月曜日～土曜日⇒　一松肉店 日曜日⇒　奥多摩町観光案内所 【御祭神】 素戔嗚尊（スサノオノミコト） 奇稲田姫（クシナダヒメ） 【由緒】 日本武尊が東征の折に祀った社を起源とし、貞観2年（860年）无邪志国造の出雲族が「奥氷川大明神」として再興したと伝えられる。 明治2年（1986年）奥氷川神社へ改称する。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located near the confluence of the Tama River and the Nippara River. Its origins are ancient, and it seems to be connected to a legend about Emperor Yamato Takeru's eastern expedition. The sacred three cedar trees make a magnificent sight. When I visited, there was no one in the grounds, but a cat sleeping beside the worship hall meowed in greeting (perhaps it was being intimidated). (Original) 多摩川と日原川の合流点近くに鎮座する神社。起源は古く、日本武尊の東征神話にまつわる伝説が伝えられているようです。 ご神木の三本杉が見事な姿を見せてくれます。 訪れた時、境内には誰もいませんでしたが、拝殿わきに寝ていた猫がニャ～と挨拶してくれました（もしかしたら威嚇されたのかも）。

(Translated by Google) This is a cute shrine with friendly cats. There is no parking, so I recommend using the parking lot at Okutama Town Hall (paid). It said that votive plaques and goshuin stamps are not given out, but are "sold" at a nearby shop. The shrine itself shouldn't write that they are for sale! (Original) 人懐こい猫が可愛い神社です。駐車場は有りませんので奥多摩役場の駐車場（有料）をオススメします。絵馬と御朱印は授与でなく近くのお店で『販売』していると書いてありました。神社自体が販売とか書いちゃダメでしょ！

(Translated by Google) Visit date: 2022/01/02 After leaving Okutama Station and walking for a while, Okuhikawa Shrine came into view. There are three long cedar trees growing here. I saw a gold sign in black letters. This is a signboard often seen at cultural properties and natural monuments. let's see. Is it a "Tokyo Metropolitan Designated Natural Monument"? “It branches into three branches from the root…” It’s true! If you look closely at the roots, you'll see that there are 3 of them connected! It looks like there are three of them, but in fact there is only one...it's quite a rare sight. (Original) 訪問日：2022/01/02 奥多摩駅を出て、しばらく歩くと奥氷川神社が見えてきた。ここには 3本の長い杉の木が生えている。黒字に金の看板が見えた。文化財や天然記念物でよく見る看板だ。どれどれ。「東京都指定天然記念物」か。 「根元から3本に分岐しており…」本当だ！ 根元をよく見ると3本 繋がっているではないか！3本に見えるが 実は1本とは…何とも珍しいお姿だ。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on my way back from a riverboat trip, and the air was so clear and the tranquility was so refreshing. The grounds, surrounded by trees, were cool, even in the middle of summer. More than anything, I was soothed by the cat that suddenly appeared on the grounds. It was friendly, and spending some time with it felt so peaceful and luxurious. It's not flashy, but it's a very charming shrine nestled in nature. Because it's not overly touristy, you can really experience the tranquility and sanctity. If you want to take a deep breath and escape from everyday life, be sure to visit. Next time, I'd like to come during the autumn foliage season. (Original) 川下りの帰りに立ち寄りましたが、本当に空気が澄んでいて、静かで心が洗われるような空間でした。木々に囲まれた境内はひんやりとしていて、真夏でも涼しく感じられました。 何より、境内にひょっこりと現れた猫ちゃんに癒されました。人懐っこくて、しばらく一緒に過ごす時間がとても穏やかで贅沢に感じました。 派手さはないけれど、自然の中に佇む神社としてとても魅力的です。観光地化されすぎていない分、静けさや神聖さをしっかりと味わえます。日常を離れて、ちょっと深呼吸したくなったらぜひ訪れてみてください。次は紅葉の季節にも来てみたいと思います。

Tucked away just 90 minutes from Tokyo’s bustling heart lies one of Japan’s best-kept secrets — Hikawa Gorge (氷川渓谷) in Okutama. It’s not just a destination — it’s a reset button for your soul. From the moment you step off the train at Okutama Station, you’re greeted by fresh mountain air and the soft roar of the Tama River weaving through ancient stone and moss-covered boulders. The gorge unfolds like a Ghibli backdrop — serene, lush, and wildly photogenic. Think emerald waters, vibrant foliage, and the kind of peace that city life can never offer. The trail along the gorge is an easy, accessible walk, perfect for casual hikers, couples, or even solo travelers needing to disconnect. Every twist in the path offers a new view — a shimmering pool of water, a wooden suspension bridge, or sunlight filtering dreamily through cedar trees. In autumn, it transforms into a kaleidoscope of red, gold, and amber. In summer, the cool river breeze makes it a perfect natural air-con retreat. What sets Hikawa Gorge apart is its unspoiled charm — no crowds, no tourist traps, just nature in its purest form. Want a picnic by the river? Do it. Want that Instagram-perfect bridge shot? It’s there, waiting. Need to clear your mind while listening to the river’s lullaby? You’ll find your zen here. Whether you’re an overworked Tokyoite or a traveler looking to escape the beaten path, Hikawa Gorge is your green antidote to city noise. Bring your camera, your favorite snack, and a quiet heart. You’ll leave with more than just pictures — you’ll leave with peace.

My experience here was almost dreamlike, such a beautiful, and serene place. I wanted to visit Okutama, so I hopped on all the trains I needed to get there. A much needed break from the city which was met with such an interesting progression of concrete buildings, to family homes and finally to lush green rolling hills, valleys, mountains dotted with patches of buildings and homes. As I got closer to Okutama I noticed my train cart becoming emptier and emptier as people departed at their stops. At a point it felt like I was the only one on board, an almost spirited away kinda feeling. I got off at Okutama station, step out of the cabin like designed station into a calm mist like drizzle of rain. I was one of 5 passengers leaving the station and the rest went off in their respective directions while I made my way to Hikawa gorge. It was so strange I walked past a shrine at the entrance to the bridge that leads to the paths of the gorge and it felt like I was the only person there, in fact I was. I crossed the wooden bridge and had free rein to go where ever I wanted. I walked all over the place, listening to the rain, feeling the cool atmosphere, and breathing in the crisp mountain air. I wish I had more time here but I arrived a few hours before sundown and felt like I needed to leave soon. I wish I also brought better footwear because I would have hiked up the shrine at the top of the nearby mountain. Anyways please go visit okutama and Hikawa gorge it was great

I came during the week in autumn when it was not very busy. The water is so clear and beautiful! The views are spectacular from the bridges and trails! We also enjoyed looking at the abandoned hotel - very eery. We saw people swimming and kayaking nearby. We also visited an small onsen in the area - perfect for after hiking. This is a great place to come for a day hike.

Easily accessible by a train from Ome station, Okutama offers a pleasant getaway from the busy center of Tokyo.

Great Spot for avoiding the crowds and having a swim on a hot day in Tokyo.

This place is very amazing..it's like a pice of heaven.🌿No matter how many complements I give ,it gets less.🥹 Me and my team went there and grabbed lots of fun...🙌..

Please follow the rules for your safety

Tied-Arch Bridge The Mito Bridge is a tied-arch bridge that crosses over Kosuge River, which feeds water into the Okutama Lake reservoir. I like the contrast of this steel structure against the backdrop of a woodland. ★★Check out the video I made for this photo shoot at the Pix4Japan YouTube channel!★★

(Translated by Google) It is said to be the westernmost point of the prefecture. The scenery was beautiful. (Original) 都道最西端だそうです。景色が綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) A bridge that crosses the Kosuge River at the entrance to the excursion road at the deepest part of Lake Okutama. 1970 (Showa 45) Steel basket handle type Nielsen-Rohse Bridge. Bridge length: 132.3m, span length: 131.2m, width: 9.5m. The first Nielsen Rose in Japan. It has a new and modern form among the bridges that span Lake Okutama. From the top of the bridge, you can enjoy a spacious view of Lake Okutama, and when you look up from under the arch, you can enjoy its impressive appearance. The railings are decorated with reliefs. Three types: deer, yamame, and tsutsuji. There are stairs that go down to the lakeside from the south end of the neighboring Miyama Bridge, and if you go down from there to the starting point of the Kosuge River, you can enjoy a distant view of the Mito Bridge. Access: 1 minute walk from the parking lot south of Miyama Bridge. (Original) 奥多摩湖の最奥、周遊道路の入口で小菅川を渡る橋。1970年（昭和45年）架橋の鋼バスケットハンドル型ニールセンローゼ橋。橋長132.3m、支間長131.2m、幅員9.5m。国内最初のニールセンローゼ。奥多摩湖に架かる橋の中では新しく、近代的なフォルム。 橋上からは奥多摩湖の広々とした風景が、アーチの下から見上げると迫力ある姿が堪能できる。 欄干にはレリーフが施されている。シカ、ヤマメ、ミツバツツジの三種類。 となりの深山橋の南詰あたりから湖畔に下る階段があり、そこから小菅川の起点まで下ると、三頭橋の遠景を堪能できる。 アクセスは、深山橋の南にある駐車場から徒歩で1分。

(Translated by Google) I went all out touring around Okutama 🚘🔥 Okutama Drive (Original) 奥多摩周遊をひとっぱしりしてきました🚘🔥奥多摩ドライブぅ∼∼

(Translated by Google) From Mitobashi Bridge, it becomes Okutama Tour Road. I walked there because it was right next to the parking lot at Miyama Bridge. It has become a promenade. The three-headed bridge is gray in color and plain, but when seen from up close, it is very graceful. It was completed in 1969 in a shape called Nielsen Rose. (Original) 三頭橋から奥多摩周遊道路になります。深山橋のところの駐車場からすぐなので歩いて来ました。遊歩道になっています。 三頭橋は色彩はグレーで地味なのですが、近くから見るととても優美です。ニールセンローゼという形状で1969年に完成しました。

A great place to go to get away from the Tokyo Summer heat and congestion. So many things to see and do. Enjoy nature therapy. Make and eat fresh soba. Do star gazing. Stay overnight in a modernized log cabin. Barbecue on the porch. Let nature’s sounds sing you to sleep.

(Translated by Google) Soba making, pottery, plaster, etc. each cost 500 yen, and the person who taught us was kind, and since it was a weekday, there was only one group, so we were able to take our time and experience it! After that, I have booked a lodge, so I wonder if it will take 5 minutes by car? You will need to move around and prepare your own meals, but you can also barbecue with charcoal in the kitchen and outside 😁👍 It was still cold, so there was a fire in the fireplace to keep me warm! I also enjoyed refueling the pellet stove✨😁✌️ You can spend a relaxing time in nature! This time I stayed for one night, but I would like to stay for two or three nights. (Original) そば打ち、陶芸、石こうなどなどそれぞれ500円出て来て、教えてくださる方も親切ですし、平日だったので1組だけだったのもありゆっくり体験させていただきました！ その後、ロッジを予約しているので、車で５分かかるかな？移動して、食事は自分で用意していく必要がありますが、キッチンも外で炭でバーベキューも出来ます😁👍 まだ寒かったので、暖炉に火が入っていて暖かですし！ ペレットストーブ✨に燃料を補給する事も楽しみました😁✌️ 自然の中で、ゆっくりした時間を過ごせます！ 今回は１泊でしたが、２〜３泊はしたいところです✨

(Translated by Google) (Visited at the end of July 2024) The visitor center in the mountain has a camping ground and a restaurant. It also holds many activities on certain days, and it feels very lively. The photo is of an open space next to a river. Someone is flying a drone here.

(Translated by Google) This facility provides nature information and guidance on how to use the parks in national parks, quasi-national parks, and some urban parks. Specialized staff called interpreters are on-site at all times and are available to give nature information, facility guides, and surrounding information at any time. The relaxing building has exhibits introducing the nature and humanities of the park and the surrounding area, as well as a variety of pamphlets and materials.

(Translated by Google) The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere. I sat at the counter. It was an amazing table with a handmade feel♪ Wild vegetable soba, the taste of soba and the taste of soup It was so delicious! The wild vegetables are soaked with water. Because it was a soft type☆4 Fruit cake, homemade apple cake It was delicious! I would like to try other dishes next time♪ (Original) 店内は落ち着いた感じ雰囲気良いです。 カウンターに座ったんですが 手作り感あるテーブルで凄かった♪ 山菜そば、そばの味と汁の味が とても美味しかった！ 山菜が水分が染み込んで 柔らかいタイプだったので☆４ フルーツケーキ、手作りアップルケーキ 美味しかったです！ 次いった時は他の料理も食べてみたいです♪

(Translated by Google) Hometown village? The restaurant was already closed. An employee at what looks like a museum showed us the walking path. It was quite a beautiful sight. (Original) ふるさと村？レストランは、もう閉まってました。資料館みたい所の従業員さんが散歩道を教えてくれました。なかなか綺麗な光景でした。

(Translated by Google) Visited on 11/18. Even though it was one minute before closing, a kind young female staff member greeted me and said "Hello, please take your time ^_^". He also explained about the habits of wild animals. Next time, I would like to come back earlier in the day and take it easy. The autumn leaves on the premises were very beautiful. (Original) 11/18訪問。閉館1分前なのに、こんにちは、ごゆっくりどうぞ^_^と、優しい若い女性スタッフが出迎えて下さいました。野生動物の習性の説明もしてくれました。次回は早い時間帯に再訪してゆっくりしてみたいです。敷地内の紅葉がとても綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) Kaizawa Valley second waterfall You can see it if you go down to the left on the way to Otaki, and even if you accidentally pass it, you can see it at the bottom left as you climb toward Otaki, so just go back and get off.👍 This was a very mysterious waterfall ✨ This is the best waterfall among the Kaizawa Mitaki Falls. I encountered an antelope! (Original) 海沢渓谷２つ目の滝 大滝に向かう途中で左に降りて行くと見えます、うっかり通り過ぎても大滝に向かって登ってると左下に見えるので戻って降りればすぐです👍 ここはとても神秘的な滝でした✨ 海沢三滝の中でも1番良かった滝です。 カモシカさんに遭遇しました！

(Translated by Google) Climb the stairs next to Mitsukamano Falls, and after walking for a while, you will come to the stairs that go down.Climb over a slightly steep rock while looking at the stream to your left. It's hidden in the back, but I could tell by the sound and atmosphere. It was a wonderful waterfall. (Original) 三ツ釜ノ滝の横の階段を登り、しばらく歩くと今度は降る階段が出てきます、沢を左に見ながら少しキツめの岩を超えます。裏に隠れていますが音と雰囲気で分かりました。素晴らしい滝でした。

(Translated by Google) The road is even steeper than Mitsukama Falls and becomes even more unclear. Although I almost got lost several times, I was able to get there by relying on the signposts and the sound of the waterfall. However, after reaching the waterfall, I forgot all about it due to its mysterious appearance. I hope that it will be fixed soon. (Original) 三ツ釜の滝以上に、道が険しく更に道が不明瞭になって行く。何度か迷いそうになりながらも道標と滝の音を頼りに辿り着けた感じ。 ただし、それよりも辿り着けた後の滝の神秘的な姿にそんなことを忘れた。 早急な整備に期待したい。

(Translated by Google) On the way to Nejire Falls, you will have to descend to the left from the mountain path heading towards Otaki. Additionally, to get close to the falls, you have to pass through a rocky slope. However, there are suitable footholds, so if you muster up a little courage, you can reach the basin of the waterfall. I think this waterfall is one of the top five waterfalls in Okutama. However, there is a huge quay overhanging right next to it, so it would be safer to watch your head and wear a helmet if possible. And there is no need to linger. (Original) ネジレの滝へは、途中、大滝に向かう山道から左に下ることになります。さらに、滝の近くまで接近するためには、岩盤の斜面を通過する必要があります。ただ、適度に足場があるので、少々勇気を振り絞れば、滝壺まで辿り着く事ができます。私は、この滝は奥多摩でもベスト5に入るほどの素晴らしい滝と思います。ただし、すぐ横は巨大な岸壁でオーバーハングしているので、頭上に注意してできればヘルメット着用の方が安心でしょう。そして、長居は無用です。

(Translated by Google) It looks small when you look at the image, but it is surprisingly large. The beauty of the rock formations carved over many years is stunning. The waterfall in the back is a narrow cavity, and the sound reverberates, making it more powerful than it looks. The moss covering the rock surface also creates a nice atmosphere♪ The rocks are slippery so be careful where you step. (Original) 画像で見ると小さく感じますが、意外と大きいです。 長い年月をかけて削られた岩の造形美は見事、 奥の滝が狭い空洞、音が反響して見た目以上の迫力、 岩肌を覆う苔も良い雰囲気♪ 岩が滑りやすいので足元注意です。

(Translated by Google) I get scared when I bring beginners. When I climbed the mountain for the first time when I was in high school, I had a friend who dived into the waterfall basin from the lower traverse! (^^)! (Original) 初心者を連れて行くとビビります。 高校生の頃、初めて登った時、下段のトラバースで滝壺ダイブした友人も居ました!(^^)!

(Translated by Google) This waterfall is rare. It's fun to watch. Pass through a rocky area to reach the waterfall. There are some slippery spots, so wear hiking shoes. Please walk carefully. On rainy days, the rocks become slippery. (Original) この滝は、珍しい。見ていて、楽しい。 滝まで、岩場を通ります。 滑るとこもあるので、登山靴で 注意して歩いて下さい。雨の日は、岩が滑ります。

(Translated by Google) Although the base of the waterfall was frozen, the waterfall itself was flowing, and from time to time you could hear the sound of falling ice or a loud "thud", making it very impressive. There was a sign warning of falling on the route to this waterfall, so you should be careful. If you are afraid of heights, there is a point where you will lose your footing, so if you don't look down, you may be too scared to move. (Original) 滝つぼは氷結してましたが、滝自体は流れていて、時折氷が落ちる音か「ドーン」と大きい音がして、迫力満点でした。 この滝までのルートが滑落注意の表示があったので、注意したほうが良いです。 高所恐怖症の方は足がすくむポイントがあるので、下を見ないようにしないと、怖くて動けなくなるかもです。

(Translated by Google) Hyakuhiro Falls can be reached by bus from Okutama Station. Go to the Kawanobashi bus stop and walk for about 50 minutes from there to Hosokura Bridge, then walk for about 45 minutes along the mountain trail. There are waterfalls of various sizes up here. This is a fun course that crosses many wooden bridges. I'll show up when I'm pretty tired Hyakuhiro Falls is a masterpiece It's not always an easy road It's worth coming It's wonderful to spread out your lunch and eat it here. Basically, it is a set with climbing Mt. Kawasuke. Mt. Kawamosuke is quite a difficult mountain. If you want to enjoy an easy hike After worshiping Hyakuhiro Falls I think it's okay to go back with a piston. (Original) 百尋ノ滝は奥多摩駅からバスで 川乘橋バス停まで行き、そこから歩いて50分ほど歩いた細倉橋からさらに登山道を45分ほど歩いた場所にあります ここまでには大小様々な滝があり 木橋を何度も渡る、楽しいコースです だいぶ疲れが溜まったところでお目見えする 百尋ノ滝は圧巻です 決して楽な道のりではありませんが 来る価値はあります ここでお弁当広げて食べるなんて素敵ですよ 基本、川苔山登山とのセットですが 川苔山は結構大変な山なので 気楽なハイキングを楽しみたいなら 百尋ノ滝を拝んだら ピストンで戻っても良いと思います

(Translated by Google) A waterfall located deep in Kawamoss Valley. The valley course beyond Hosokura Bridge has many falling accidents, so wear shoes and clothing suitable for hiking. (Original) 川苔谷の奥にある滝。細倉橋から先の渓谷コースは転落事故も多発しているのでハイキングができる靴や服装で。

(Translated by Google) It's a nice place where you can't hear anything except the sound of the waterfall and there's plenty of ozone. It's quite a walk from the nearest bus stop, so there aren't many people other than mountain climbers. (Original) 滝の音以外何も聞こえず、オゾンたっぷりのよい場所です。最寄りバス停からそれなりに歩くので人も登山者以外居ません。

(Translated by Google) It was higher than I expected, and there weren't too many people, so I was able to take my time and enjoy the view of the waterfall! (Original) 想像していたよりも高く、人もいすぎないのでゆっくりと滝を眺められました！

(Translated by Google) 40 meters drop (Original) 落差40メートル

This is a short suspension Bridge, old but still strong. We played in the river and pick up some nice stones/rocks.It’s a small trail but nice. Very clear water even though it was raining.

A nice bridge in the mountains 🥰

Bridge with nice view.

(Translated by Google) The bridge itself is a very unsettling suspension bridge. There is a limestone outcrop just beyond the bridge. You can see it from the other side, but Mt. Buko in Chichibu is far better, so it's not worth the trip. As you can see from this bridge, there is an Okutama Kogyo towline. In order to get a bird's-eye view of it, it seems like you'll need to cross this bridge and climb up using ropes and chains. Well, look, cross, and that's it. There is no parking lot. However, the Nishi-Tokyo bus bound for the limestone caves runs on this narrow road, and there are bus stops both above and below, so if you have a motorcycle, you can park your bike for a while. Buses almost never come... (Original) 橋自体は非常に心もとない吊橋です。 橋を渡った先に、石灰岩の露頭があります。 対岸からも十分に見れますが、秩父の武甲山の方が断然良いので、わざわざ行く価値は低いですね。 この橋からも視認できますが、奥多摩工業の曳線があります。 これを俯瞰するにはこの橋を渡って、ロープやチェーンを使って登っていく必要があるようですよ。 まあ見て、渡ってみて、それでおしまいですね。 駐車場はありません。 ただ、こんな細い道を鍾乳洞行きの西東京バスが走ってて、その上下共用のバス停がありますから、バイクならちょっと駐輪することが可能です。 ほとんどバスは来ませんから…

(Translated by Google) Wonderful nature✨ Thank you as always 🙇 However, today's downpour came because I came by bike. It was bright red on the rain cloud radar 😅 (Original) 素晴らしい大自然✨ いつも有難うございます🙇 しかし今日の土砂降りはバイクで来たので参りました。雨雲レーダーで真っ赤でした😅

(Translated by Google) I found it on the way to Nippara Cave and stopped by on my way back. I parked my car at the bus stop, made sure I had time until the bus arrived, and then dashed off to take some photos. There is a tunnel with rough walls after crossing the suspension bridge, and is there a promenade beyond that? It continued, but I didn't have time so I turned back immediately. Is there an abandoned railway upstream of the suspension bridge with a trolley still resting on the iron bridge? There was. (Original) 日原鍾乳洞へ行く途中に見つけ、帰りに寄りました。 バス停に車を停め、バスが来るまで時間があるのを確認してからダッシュで写真を撮りに行きました。 吊り橋を渡った所に壁の粗いトンネルがありその先も遊歩道？が続いていましたが、時間がないので直ぐ引き返しました。 吊り橋の上流には、トロッコが鉄橋の上に載ったままの廃線？がありました。

(Translated by Google) I happened to notice it when I was driving along the river and tried walking, but the bridge was old and there was a promenade ahead, but it was dangerous so I turned back. (Original) 車で走ってて川沿い見たら偶然気がついて歩いてみたけど橋は、古びてて先に行くと遊歩道があるけど、危ないから引き返しました。

(Translated by Google) Walk from Okutama Station to the bridge in front of Hikawa Campsite. (Original) 奥多摩駅から歩くと氷川キャンプ場の手前の橋。

(Translated by Google) An arch bridge located about 5 minutes walk from Okutama Station. It's a fairly high bridge, and if you look down you can see the riverbed of Hikawa Campsite. When I looked at the riverbed from this bridge in the summer, I saw serows drinking water. You can enjoy the scenery full of nature. (Original) 奥多摩駅徒歩5分程度の距離にあるアーチ橋。 かなり高い橋梁で、下を見ると氷川キャンプ場の河川敷が見渡せる。 夏にこの橋から河川敷を見た時、カモシカが水を飲んでいた。 自然溢れる景色が楽しめる。

(Translated by Google) The scenery is nice. (Original) 景色はいいですよ。

(Translated by Google) It's a spectacular view (Original) 絶景です

This place is significant due to an inclined rock. The rock is not really immediately interesting but the inclination and fault lines and color are all interesting. I wish I had gottem some geological info before coming. Besides the rock, the view is only remotely interesting and the temple ia nothing really special. But it is a nice treat to stop over and enjoy many things beaidea the visit to ths dam. Only thing is to be careful on how to get there. The way is tricky. Google map shows the location but no road. So use street view and go forward or back to know how to get there.

(Translated by Google) The large, steep rock located at the top of the stairs from the unpaved section of the old road is the object of worship. Bicycles are convenient for approaching. (Original) むかし道の非舗装区間から階段をのぼったところにある、切り立った大岩がご神体。アプローチには自転車が便利。
