Mt. Mitake & Mitake Gorge

Famous Fall Spots on the Outskirts of Ōme
Ōme is a city that can be found in the northwest of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area's Western Tokyo region. It's got easy access with a 1-hour train ride from central Tokyo and has been revered as a location with sacred mountains such as Mount Mitake and an abundance of nature-filled sites making it the perfect and popular spot for hikers and other visitors who enjoy seeing nature.

Mount Mitake is filled with unripe plums and sacred power spots. Within live wild birds and bugs, also being famous as a treasure trove of rare plants, known for having the largest amount of false anemone during the summer in the whole of Japan during which you can enter the growing site for free to see the flowers, there are many sightseers and tourists that visit every single year. Make sure to visit at the start of November through to the middle of November to see the fall leaves change to beautiful reds and oranges.

You'll find moss-covered rocks and a rock garden with clear streams running through surrounded by orange and red-leaved trees, it's a beautifully contrasting area that is sure to leave you breathless. We highly recommend enjoying the surrounding colors while heading for the cable car which will take you to Mitake Mountain Station.

In Mitake Gorge which is found on the side of the Tama River, there are many popular activities such as kayaking as well as appreciating the surrounding sights. You're able to walk to the gorge from JR Mitake Station, and in typical years it's lit up during the night.
