Hinohara Tomin no Mori (檜原都民の森)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A forest park at an elevation of 1,000-1,500 meters within Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. In December, the park holds 'Geminid Meteor Shower and Nighttime Mammal Watching' and 'Star Watching in Kazuma.' 'Star Watching in Kazuma' is open only to guests who have reserved dinner at an inn in the Kazuma area. Its appeal lies in the clear night sky at high elevation, undisturbed by other light sources, and you may even see the Milky Way if you're lucky.

Tips

Dates, participation conditions, and fees vary by year. 'Star Watching in Kazuma' is limited to guests with lodging and dinner reservations in the Kazuma area. Be sure to check the latest application details on the official website (Tokyo Hinohara Tomin no Mori), and plan on the assumption that only event participants can enter after the park's regular closing time.
