Just outside of Tokyo, though seemingly a world away, and nestled amongst lush mountains and beautiful lakes, you’ll find the town of Okutama. Being so close to Tokyo it’s perfect for daytrips, with the lush natural setting attracting kayakers, hikers or those simply seeking some tranquility.
After exploring, take a free tour to learn about Japanese sake at nearby Ozawa Brewery. Make sure you have some time to sample some of the different varieties of sake after the tour!
📍Access: The Okutama area is around 90 minutes by train from Shinjuku Station.
