Things to do
Where is this new destination?
Nishitama
Tokyo
Nishitama region is the western part of Tokyo and that means it is a neighborhood of one of the biggest metropolis in the world. But there are untouched mountains, beautiful rivers and good old Japanese culture without crowds, skyscrapers and bustle of a city.
In such surroundings, people and nature coexist in harmony.
The one of the most remarkable aspects of this region is the distance from the central Tokyo. You will enjoy
cultural experiences, visiting historic sites and even outdoor activities like hiking, cycling and river rafting as a day trip from downtown hotels in Tokyo.
