Distance-wise, the far west of Tokyo is only a couple of hours or so from the capital’s more central districts, but in contrast to the crossings and crowds the city is famous for, it looks and feels like a completely different world.

Beautiful!
Lee says
Thanks! It was a genuinely lovely sight. Always nice to get out that way.

It is interesting how unusually straight most of the trees appear. This is not typical of the forests I have experienced.
Lee says
Yes, they really are. Just one that isn’t straight. They are cedar, I think, and this forrest is managed, so all the trees have enough space to grow.
Jenn says
I love it. I had no idea Tokyo could be so beautiful! 😮
Lee says
Even now it still amazes me that this area is Tokyo. And yes, it really is beautiful, with mountains, rivers and forests.
