Lake Tama

This reservoir is a five-minute walk from Seibu-Yuenchi Station on the Seibu Tamako Line. Completed in 1927, it's important historically. Popularly known as Lake Tama, Murayama Reservoir is considered a symbol of Higashi-Yamato City and is both one of the 100 Views of New Tokyo and one of the 20 Views of Higashi-Yamato. Care is taken with the surrounding natural environment and ecosystem considering its role in headwater conservation. It's next to Sayama Lake, and as there are numerous green zones in the area, it's a popular spot with families who come to have fun while getting in touch with nature. In addition to the intake tower with domed roof and arch windows deemed the most beautiful of its kind in Japan, it's also a good spot to enjoy the sunset, moonset, and views of crimson-dyed Mt. Fuji at sundown, as well as the cherry blossoms in spring.
