Akiruno / HinodeTHE VIBRANT TOKYO
VIBRANT FORESTS
AND PEACEFUL
SIGHTS
Set against rolling hills and serene rivers, Tama’s Akiruno and Hinode areas offer a peaceful escape from the pace of central Tokyo. Located in western Tama, these regions are celebrated for their lush valleys and laid-back, countryside atmosphere. Akiruno’s Akigawa Valley—a picturesque stretch of riverside retreats—transforms with the seasons and provides the perfect setting for barbecuing, swimming, or hiking through forests and ravines.
Neighboring Hinode offers a more rural charm, with quiet temples and artisan workshops nestled among wooded slopes. Nature trails connect the two towns, making them a popular choice for light trekking and forest bathing.
Whether it’s fresh air, a hot spring soak surrounded by trees, or simply a slower rhythm of life, Akiruno and Hinode’s parklands and public spaces deliver a balanced blend of nature, recreation, and leisure.
