Hinohara Village

The only "village" in mainland Tokyo, it's a hidden gem where over 90% of the area is forest. Untouched nature remains, including "Hossawa Falls" (one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls) and the mysterious cliff "Kanoto Rock." It is a place where Tokyo's original scenery is still carefully preserved, with traditional potato dishes and life in old folk houses.
