A 3 nights and 4 days tour of the nature, history and food in Ome

This is a plan to visit the places of interest of Ome in just 4 days and 3 nights.

On the first day, climb Mt. Mitake and enjoy a day hike at Musashi Mitake-Shrine and nearby waterfalls. For the first night, we will stay at a shukubo on Mt. Mitake, which was originally a lodging facility for monks.

On the second day, you will first enjoy tofu dishes and Japanese sake at the sake theme park Sawanoien, and enjoy the garden while surrounded by the beauty of nature. After that, enjoy fishing at the Okutama Fishing Center and walk along the Hatonosu-keikoku Valley promenade. Stay will be at Yamabato Mountain Village.

On the third day, enjoy the popular Takamizu Sanzan mountain climbing route, which is about 10km long and takes around 4 hours to complete. Takamizu Sanzan is a general term for three mountains: Mt. Takamizusan (759m), Mt. Iwatakeishiyama (793m), and Mt. Sogakusan (756m). Even beginners can enjoy mountain climbing on low mountains like these. Then overnight stay at Hatonosu-so.

On the fourth and final day, we will visit Kongo-ji Temple, which is the origin of the Ome place name. Next comes Shiofune-Kannon-ji Temple, which has the statue of Juichimen Senju Kannon Ryuzo, a nationally designated important cultural property, and stop by Fukiage Shobu Park. After that, we will go to Kamanofuchi Park, which is known for beautiful seasonal scenery, and finally visit Hinatawada Rinsen Garden, where beautiful flowers are in full bloom.
