A Perfect Day in Tokyo 08/2020
Be soothed by nature in Japan’s spiritual hometown
Yuyake Koyake Fureai no Sato (Hachioji City)
A water mill enveloped by greenery
Proceed through the park entrance, lined by stalls selling fresh agricultural produce and a ticket booth, and you will be greeted by animals such as ponies and rabbits. On the vast grounds, abundant with nature, there are countless things to do: a petting farm, a river perfect for catching fish or playing in the water, hiking courses, and outdoor facilities for camping and barbeques are all available, as well as activities such as pottery and woodworking.
At the height of summer, it is especially recommended to take a stroll along the Kitaasa River, which flows through the grounds. The lush growth of trees along the river shades you from the sun like a tunnel of greenery, while the transparent water flowing by your feet is pleasantly refreshing. If you get tired of walking, you can enjoy handmade soba noodles at the restaurant, or relax by bathing at the lodging facility, which accepts day visitors. Allow yourself to savor the slow passage of time, surrounded by nature, and as it turns to evening you are sure to see scenes evocative of “Yuyake Koyake.”
