眺望・環境 (1)
Can I see the night view?
Standing at the summit of Mount Mitake at an elevation of 830 m, the inn looks out over a magical night view of the Kanto plain. It is a superb spot from which you can see not only the Tama area but the skyscrapers of Shinjuku and even Tokyo Skytree.
Sightseeing / Nearby (3)
Which season do you particularly recommend?
Each season has its appeal: fresh greenery and cherry blossom in spring, colonies of rengeshoma in summer, autumn leaves in autumn (those of the Mitake Gorge are especially famous), and clear air and night views in winter. Summer is cooler than central Tokyo, making it popular as a retreat from the heat.
What sightseeing and activities are there around Mount Mitake?
You can visit Musashi Mitake Shrine, hike on Mount Mitake (Rock Garden, Nagaodaira and more), and from mid to late August see one of the Kanto region's finest colonies of Japanese anemone (rengeshoma). There are also plenty of outdoor experiences such as rock climbing and kayaking in the Mitake Gorge.
Can I use it as a base for hiking?
Being at the summit, it is ideal as a base for hiking around Mount Mitake. There is a variety of routes, including the Rock Garden, the traverse to Mount Hinode and the route towards Mount Otake. It also caters widely for climbing, forest bathing, training sessions and group retreats.
