Great video! I also tried walking Okutama, but it took about 7 hours. I walked without knowing where to look, so I couldn't enjoy it! I should have gone after watching this video! Thank you for the wonderful video😆💕

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

HiTokyo walking-san😉You walked for 7 hours!😲That must have been tough. 😅Did you go as far as Kori Station? I didn't go to that station but chose the shorter route to the Hatonosu station. I recommend going to the Okutama tourist information center because they will provide helpful information! Please go there during fall when the leaves change and take some amazing videos!🍁Arigatou for your comment!!

[@tonysuazo9718]

Who would have thought a luscious greenery can be found in Tokyo!! Amazing video as always Atsuko-san! Highly recommended to people who want a change of scenery in the bustling city of Tokyo.

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi🥰Tony-san, thank you for all of your comments. Your support holds great significance for me. There are numerous places I would be delighted to show you when you visit Japan, Okutama being one of them!😁😁

[@douglasharveyii]

WOW. One could spend their entire trip in Tokyo and never have to leave the city limits for wide open spaces! Once again, Atsuko-san, your videos are amazing and stunningly beautiful! Thank you so much for uploading these for all of us!

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi Douglas-san😄 I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks again for your encouraging comment😍 Your comments always motivate me! Are the mountain landscapes in Japan much different from those in the U.S.? My imagination of the mountain area in the U.S. is so vast that a beginner would get lost in them! Now I'm exhausted even hiking in Japan’s beginner course but I'd like to train myself and challenge the vast nature in the U.S. someday in the future!⛰🚶‍♀️⛰

[@minecraftminer59mineboymin38]

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether The mountains in US is much bigger and the forest around it most of the time doesnt have any buildings nearby for miles if it isnt a national park but you def need a car to reach them

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

@@minecraftminer59mineboymin38 I'd like to go hiking in the forests of America as well! One nice thing about the forests in Japan is that they are easily accessible even without a driver's license.😅

Es increíble que lugares así se encuentre en Tokyo, que hermosos paisajes ideales para relajarse y usar ese tren y ver el paisaje :D

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

こんにちはLuigi-san😁😁Sí. ¡Okutama está tan lleno de naturaleza que cuesta creer que sea Tokio! Y aquí también viven osos. Ojalá tuviera tiempo para enseñarte estos lugares y también la ciudad de Tokio.

[@badoradesu]

This video was really nice and helpful. I followed your video during my trip to Okutama and enjoyed a lot. Very good suggestion on the Kamameshi also. It’s one of my favourite Japanese foods. Thanks a lot! ❤

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

😍Thank you for your delightful comment, Bhadra-san! I'm thrilled to hear that my video was helpful to you and that you enjoyed your trip to Okutama. I also love Kamameshi among Japanese cuisines! Kamameshi Naka is a place where not only the Kamameshi is delicious, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is great, and the staff are very kind! It's a place I'd love to visit again. Thanks again for your comment!

[@zeitnotbr]

Hello, its beautiful. Is it a tourist-friendly place? I am Brazilian and I plan to take a 20-day trip, I am planning my itinerary.

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Good morning, Zeitnot-san, Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. How wonderful it is to travel in Japan for 20 days! I’d love to travel to Brazil for 20 days too! I’m not sure if Okutama fits what you described as tourist-friendly, but there were plenty of tourists, both from Japan and abroad. While there weren’t any materials in Portuguese at the tourist information center, there were some in English. Since buses and trains are infrequent around Okutama, I recommend checking the schedules in advance. The red app called “Japan Transit” is convenient for checking the times. Also, please note that some roads might be closed due to landslides. Make sure to check the road conditions using the link in the comments section before heading out. Have a great trip!😉😉

[@LKnguyen1]

Hi Atsuko-san, thank you so much for this amazing video. May I ask if this is for 1-day trip from Tokyo? Much appreciated if you can share about the timing also, like how long did it take for this whole trip, when is the last departure of buses/trains back to Tokyo. Many thanks!

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi! Linh Nguyễn-san, Thank you for your comment! Using a local train takes 2 to 3 hours from Tokyo station to Okutama station. The train schedule is different from weekdays and weekends. Sometimes a special rapid train to Okutama operates on weekends. So please use some transportation apps for train schedules. I recommend the "Japan Transit Planner" app (red one) You can also check the last train with this app! In my video, I went to a cave and Kamameshi restaurant on the 1st day, and on the 2nd day, I went to a trekking trail and Sawanoi-en. You need 2 days to cover my route, so please choose the cave or trekking course if you are going on a 1-day trip. Please check the weather news and this website before you go to Okutama! www.ces-net.jp/okutamavc/info/52 I hope you have a wonderful time at Okutama!

[@LKnguyen1]

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether Thanks Atsuko-san so much for your thoughtful and informative advice. Then I will choose the trekking course and go there tomorrow 😊Arigatou gozaimasu!

Is it very hot and humid in August? Will I need air conditioning? Thanks

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi,月Eri-san, It's unbearably hot even in the forests of Okutama. In August, it can be quite tough around the Tokyo area without air conditioning. However, everyone feels differently, so I recommend Googling the temperature of the place you want to visit.😉

Where do you get your music?

Hi James-san, Thank you for watching my video and for liking the music. The music used in the video is from a site called Uppbeat. I like it because it offers good music at reasonable prices. For more details, please check the description section.

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Kon-banwa, Silja Nousiainen-san! Thank you for watching my video! Are you referring to the route from Okutama Station to Hatonosu Station? It’s accessible in October as well! However, the availability of facilities may vary, so please check the link in the description for details. Additionally, the route may be closed due to weather conditions, so please check the link in the first comment of the video for updates. October is the best season for hiking! Enjoy your hike!

How to get a cycle

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

??🤔Is "cycle" referring to a bicycle? I don't think I was riding a bicycle in this video, but are you referring to my Mount Fuji video?

[@TheZennad]

Can you swim in the lake?

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi! Zenna-san! Thank you for watching my video! There were people swimming in Shiromaru Lake! It looked very refreshing. However, there have been drowning accidents there, so I recommend wearing a life jacket. Although it's not in my video, there's another lake in Okutama called Lake Okutama, but swimming is prohibited there. Next time I go to Okutama, I might bring my swimsuit too😆😆

[@TheZennad]

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether thanks for replying, really appreciate it :)

[@mmaya01]

Is this ok to do as a day trip or are there hotels in the area?

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Hi😆Melissa-san, Thank you for your comment!! I think it might be a bit challenging to visit all the places I introduced in the video in just a day trip. If you skip the cave and focus only on hiking, you can definitely enjoy it in a day. One popular accommodation in the area is "奥多摩の風 はとのす荘 Okutama no Kaze Hatonosu-so" If you're interested, please try searching for it. Also, there are plenty of hotels in nearby cities like Hachioji and Tachikawa. Now is the perfect season for hiking in Okutama! Enjoy your time, but be cautious of bears.🐻🌸

[@mmaya01]

@@GetToKnowJapanTogether awesome! Thank you so much for the information

[@OHOHOHCOME]

The title is very misleading. Okutama take hours to get there by public transit. The location is not in Tokyo.

[@GetToKnowJapanTogether]

Konnichiwa, Gundam-san 😀I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Okutama has an abundance of natural beauty hence, it may be hard to believe it's a part of Tokyo. Nonetheless, Okutama is indeed a part of Tokyo, with its official address being Okutama-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo. I appreciate you bringing up the topic of access to Okutama. I completely forgot to mention in my video that the regular train journey from Tokyo or Shinjuku takes approximately 2.5 hours. However, on Saturdays and Sundays, there's a special rapid train that can get you there in just 1 hour and 40 minutes. You can find more information by searching for "ホリデー快速奥多摩 or Holiday Rapid Okutama." Okutama is a wonderful place and I hope you will visit there, too!😉
