Hi, I’m Tabi!
Okutama in western Tokyo offers mountains, the Tama River and reservoir scenery. Start at the lake, Hatonosu or near Okutama Station; these are separate outings.
This guide covers places within Okutama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Okutama grows wasabi using clear water; the tourism association also describes local wasabi as a soba condiment. Fresh wasabi and processed products differ, so check origin, ingredients and availability.
Choose Lake Okutama and Ogouchi Dam area or Hatonosu Gorge first, checking admission, currently open areas and return transport. Plan separated places as different outings.
