ENDLESS FUN
Tucked away in the hills of western Tama, Hinohara is known for its unspoiled natural beauty and timeless charm. This picturesque village is a haven of waterfalls, cedar forests, and quiet mountain passes.
With over 90 percent of its land blanketed in forest, Hinohara offers nature lovers the perfect escape—serene and secluded, yet still within easy reach of central Tokyo. Popular spots like Hossawa Falls, one of Tokyo’s most scenic waterfalls, attract hikers and photographers, while the village’s winding trails lead to peaceful viewpoints and historic shrines.
Traditional inns and farmhouses dot the landscape, inviting visitors to experience rural hospitality and seasonal Japanese cuisine. With its slower pace and tranquil scenery, Hinohara is the ideal place to step away from city life and reconnect with Tokyo’s natural side.
