Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park

PIXTA

Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park is characterized by mountains and valleys, including the Okuchichibu massif with its highest peak, Kitaoku Senjo-dake (2,601 m), and a series of 2,000-meter-high peaks such as Kinpusen, Kobushigatake and Mt. The Okuchichibu massif is about 70 km from east to west and 40 km from north to south. The Okuchichibu massif is the headwaters and watershed of representative rivers in the Kanto and central Honshu regions, including the Chikuma (Shinano), Fuefuki- (Fuji), Tama, and Ara Rivers, and the erosion of these rivers has created steep V-shaped valleys and a rich variety of mountain and valley scenery. As the closest national park to the Tokyo metropolitan area and with convenient transportation, the park attracts many visitors who enjoy nature in a variety of ways, such as hiking, mountain climbing, camping, fishing, and river climbing.
