  • Is this really Tokyo? Here I will introduce you to the Okutama area, full of beautiful nature that will make you wonder if you are really in Tokyo!
    From caves to emerald-green lakes, I am sure that your image of Tokyo will be turned upside down!😉
    🧸Note:
    There are not many trains and buses in the Okutama area, so I recommend that you do your research on the time schedule before you go!
    Also, please refer to the links in this description section!
    Additionally, while the areas introduced are safe, bears do inhabit the mountains of Okutama, so please bring a bell or something that makes a sound and be cautious when climbing

I also love Kamameshi among Japanese cuisines! Kamameshi Naka is a place where not only the Kamameshi is delicious, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is great, and the staff are very kind! It's a place I'd love to visit again. Thanks again for your comment!

      Are the mountain landscapes in Japan much different from those in the U.S.?
      My imagination of the mountain area in the U.S. is so vast that a beginner would get lost in them!
      Now I'm exhausted even hiking in Japan’s beginner course but I'd like to train myself and challenge the vast nature in the U.S. someday in the future!⛰🚶‍♀️⛰

    • @GetToKnowJapanTogether
      @GetToKnowJapanTogether  Před 24 dny

      Hi! Linh Nguyễn-san, Thank you for your comment! Using a local train takes 2 to 3 hours from Tokyo station to Okutama station.
      The train schedule is different from weekdays and weekends.
      Sometimes a special rapid train to Okutama operates on weekends.
      So please use some transportation apps for train schedules.
      I recommend the "Japan Transit Planner" app (red one)
      You can also check the last train with this app!
      In my video, I went to a cave and Kamameshi restaurant on the 1st day, and on the 2nd day, I went to a trekking trail and Sawanoi-en. You need 2 days to cover my route, so please choose the cave or trekking course if you are going on a 1-day trip.
      Please check the weather news and this website before you go to Okutama!

      Hi😆Melissa-san, Thank you for your comment!!
      I think it might be a bit challenging to visit all the places I introduced in the video in just a day trip. If you skip the cave and focus only on hiking, you can definitely enjoy it in a day.
      One popular accommodation in the area is "奥多摩の風 はとのす荘 Okutama no Kaze Hatonosu-so" If you're interested, please try searching for it.
      Also, there are plenty of hotels in nearby cities like Hachioji and Tachikawa.
      Now is the perfect season for hiking in Okutama! Enjoy your time, but be cautious of bears.🐻🌸

Nonetheless, Okutama is indeed a part of Tokyo, with its official address being Okutama-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo. I appreciate you bringing up the topic of access to Okutama. I completely forgot to mention in my video that the regular train journey from Tokyo or Shinjuku takes approximately 2.5 hours.
