SATOYAMA TOKYO Shooting tour #2-2 Hinohara

Do you think there is a village in Tokyo? - Yes, there is!
Just only one village in Tokyo called " Hinohara-mura".
"Hinohara" means the field or forest of Chamaecyparis obtusa and "Mura" means a village.

The next destination was in Hinohara called Hossawa Falls!

There are some uphill points on the way, but it is worth going by a bike when the weather is really nice and warm as you can enjoy the landscape & a breath of the fresh clean mountain air!

We took a short break at Akigawa gorge on the way.

Seemed like the peak season for Autum foliage was almost gone, but we could see

some colorful autumn trees and they liked a shape of the Japanese maple leaf.

After the short break, finally headed for the fall.

It is spectacular plunging about 60 meters over a wooded cliff into a shallow pool and known as one of selected one hundred falls in Japan.

You can actually visit there in all season. It lit up for selected dates in the summer and frozen up in the coldest winter.

Need to get through this narrow muddy path to reach the fall, but once you find the fall, you will forget how rough the path is.

On the way, you can also find the coffee shop offering a variety of pottery and *Konnyaku food in the pot! You can stop by to warm up yourself by the food and drink.

*Konnyaku - has become its local food made from Konnyaku Yawn.

Konnyaku yawn is grown well in the area, so the local people make konnyaku in their daily life.

After exploring the limestone cave, we walked around the Hatonosu Gorge.
The season of autumn leaves was a little over, but the great view is always beautiful.

And we enjoyed “Soba”, noodles made from buckwheat, and local vegetable tempura, deep fried vegetables. These are fresh and delicious.

We can see another beautiful gorge, Mitake Gorge, from the windows.

SATOYAMA TOKYO Shooting tour #2-1 Akiruno~Hinohara

We had the second shooting tour on 11/19 which was the perfect day for not only photo shooting but the bike ride as this tour was mainly a fun physical activity.

Our tour started from JR Musai-Itsukaichi Station at 9 am.
The weather was perfect for a bike ride and Autum foliage viewing.

We first got our bikes at a rental bike shop right across the street from Musashi-Itsukaichi station.

Today's cooporative models are Tyler and Ali.

We got our bikes smoothly (took us just 10mins) and headed to the first visiting point - Temple Kohtoku (Kohtoku-ji).

                                 Up and downhills till the temple..

This temple is located in a very quiet area and was founded in 1373!! It is a very old temple like 640 years old, but has been maintained well.
This temple has a very gigantic ginkgo tree coloring yellow like a carpet by its foliage on the garden now. It is a great time to visit there, everyone!

We saw some people taking photos as well.

     They amazed the beautiful ginkgo tree and were interested in the leave shape.

                                       

               ↑Ginkgo leaves (Top) and Tokyo metropolitan symbol (below)
This tree is actually the metropolitan tree and the symbol is based on this leave shape.

We first went to see the biggest cypress tree in Tokyo. We hiked the steep hillside for about 20 minutes, and finally we found the tree. This 1,000 years-old tree is designated as natural treasure in Tokyo.

 

Second, we went to the limestone cave in Nippara. This big cave is one of the most famous limestone cave in Japan, and it keeps 11℃ inside all year.
