….. 1. Depart Tokyo . 60 minutes

Take a scenic train ride out of the city to one of these greener, less-touched areas:

• Option A: Okutama (Tokyo’s remote western mountains)

• Option B: Hinohara Village (Tokyo’s only village)

• Option C: Mount Takao – use back trails to avoid the tourist crowd
  (Let’s go with Option A below for this version)

….. 2. Forest Walk in Okutama . ~120 minutes

Wander through cedar forests and riverside trails. Depending on your group’s energy level:

• Easy option: Stroll by Tama River and Okutama Lake

• Hard: Waterfall trail to Hatonosu Gorge

Expect silence, birdsong, mossy stones, and crystal-clear mountain air.

Enjoy seasonal vegetables, mountain yam soba, or freshwater fish grilled on a stick.
