Shiromaru in Okutama is located in a national park that can be accessed from Tokyo in two and a half hours by train. You can rent canoes on the magnificent natural lake. Canoes are extremely stable, so even those who don't like getting wet can enjoy them with peace of mind. Up to 3 people can use one boat (3,000 yen/2 hours) Life jackets and paddles included. Don't worry even if it's your first time riding a Canadian canoe. The staff will give a lecture on how to ride and row. In addition, Lake Shiromaru has few waves and currents, so even beginners can easily enjoy the activities. Also, it is more stable than SUP, so there is no risk of falling into the lake! ! The biggest advantage of canoeing is that you can enjoy it even when you don't want to get wet or when it's cold. Relax and enjoy the emerald green scenery, or bring your fishing gear and enjoy fishing to your heart's content. *As the equipment is rental, there is no tour guide.

Electric cycling and exploring unexplored areas at a hidden spot just over an hour west of Shinjuku! A local guide will take you on a special route through the scenery of nature and Satoyama, which is hard to believe that you are in Tokyo. With the help of an electric assist, you can easily climb the slope, encounter a huge tree, greet the fish swimming in the clear stream, throw stones in the river, take a break on the wooden deck overlooking the valley, and buy some local sweets. This is a fulfilling tour where you can enjoy the beauty of the valley, nature, and hidden spots that you won't believe are in Tokyo, as if they were attractions. For lunch, you can enjoy a special Cuban sandwich lunch box while relaxing on an outdoor chair in the valley (canyon chairing experience) (both the chairing and lunch box are included in the price). Enjoy the luxury of sitting by the water, listening to the sound of the water, and doing nothing. The highlight of the afternoon tour is a river trekking experience where you wear waterproof clothing to keep your feet dry and walk through a secret valley stream to feel like an explorer and visit a hidden waterfall in Tokyo! Participants must be 135cm tall or above, and can be enjoyed by friends or family. After river trekking, we will run along the river and return to the back mountain base, and the tour will end... If you wish, you can use the rental bicycle as is and move around freely, so you can split up with the guide and go further through the countryside and valley scenery, and even aim for a hot spring footbath. (We will give you a map and explain it so you don't get lost.)Meet and dissolve at the Tokyo Urayama Base, right in front of Musashi Itsukaichi Station. This tour includes everything you need, including bicycle rentals and other rental items, so there's no need for troublesome preparation or cleanup. Feel free to join us empty-handed.

You can experience a tent sauna, SUP, and BBQ, and this is the only sauna facility in the Kanto region that uses a lake as its water bath. Jumping into the lake and feeling the coldness and water pressure of the mountain water with your whole body, lying on a SUP and bathing in the fresh air floating on the water's surface is something special. The plan includes sup, so you can get ready while lying on the water surface. *Since we only rent tent sauna equipment, customers are responsible for preparing the tent and starting the fire themselves. Chairs inside the tent and chairs for outdoor bathing are available. *Please use the Shiromaru Town Parking Lot (Times Parking). *5 minutes walk from JR Shiromaru Station. Also accessible by train. *The price includes only the rental fee, and we are not responsible for any injuries sustained during use. Please use it safely and in the correct manner. *A tarp is provided so you can use it even in rainy weather.

Hinohara Village is the only village on land in Tokyo. Deep inside the village, on a ridge well over 700m above sea level, lies the old house "Kyu Kobayashi Family Residence". Built in the mid-Edo period (more than 320 years ago), this mountain house is literally an "old house in the sky". This tour, which takes you there by mountain monorail that goes straight up a super steep slope of nearly 45 degrees, is an extremely extraordinary experience that will leave a deep impression on your memory, both geographically and historically, as well as physically. The tour meets at the Tokyo Back Mountain Base in front of JR Musashi-Itsukaichi Station, and includes transportation to the site by private car. *Hinohara Village has been designated as a national ecotourism promotion area, and as an exception, transportation to the ecotour site by car is permitted. (Your accompanying guide, Jinken, is a certified eco-tour guide for Hinode Village.) For lunch, you will be served at the Kobayashi Family House, with a lunchbox of light snacks (Cuban sandwiches) made specially for the Tokyo Urayama Base, and coffee brewed with water that participants themselves will have drawn from a special spring in the area. After experiencing the old mountain house, we will move on to another highlight of the day. We will stop at Kanoto Rock, a power spot known only to those in the know, and walk along the valley using chains. Here, too, you can experience a part of the local mountain worship and lifestyle culture. On the way back, we will cross a suspension bridge over the valley just beyond the Akigawa River from the village and enjoy a foot bath at a popular local hot spring. Once your feet are warm, we will head to a local cafe renovated from an old house, recommended by our guide (Jinken). We will take a break at CAFE POUND, the most popular cafe in the area, renovated from a Showa-era house by the owner himself. A private car will pick you up from the station, and you will be accompanied by a Hinode Village certified eco-tour guide. It will be a very fulfilling day where you can experience the lifestyle and culture of a mountain village. This is a premium tour with a capacity of only 6 people. (Participation is possible from one person. However, the minimum number of participants for the tour is 2 people.)
