That's exactly why Okutama is so popular among nature lovers. It's an escape from the typical bright neon lights in the city, and provides a wealth of leisure activities including some excellent trekking routes.
For first-timers visiting Okutama, we recommend going on the Mount Mitake To Mount Hinode trekking course.
This five hour hike allows you to soak in the scenery at two of Okutama's most famous mountains, and promises to be a trek that offers the perfect blend of nature, culture and history.
