Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park

It is a national park extending over the prefectures of Saitama, Yamanashi, Nagano and Tokyo, with the Oku Chichibu Mountains at the center with an altitude of 2,000 meters. Many people visit throughout the year because it is the nearest to the metropolitan area and has great accessibility. Mitake-Shosenkyo Gorge, known as one of the most beautiful valleys in Japan and the scenery of Mt. Kimpu, Mt. Mizugaki and Mt. Ryokami selected as one of Japan’s top 100 famous mountains are worth a visit. There are several visitor centers in the area that exhibit material about the ecosystems, nature and organisms. The center also provides maps and offers guided tours
