  • Many visitors do not realize that beyond Tokyo's shiny architecture there are neighborhoods unchanged from a century ago. Shitamachi is one of these neighborhoods, lovingly referred to by the Japanese as “downtown". Like most shitamachi neighborhoods, Yamaka is a low-rise, almost rural place that makes Tokyo lovable and livable, taking us back to another era.

  • Mount Takao or "takaosan" as it is known in Japanese is a mountain east of Tokyo. With an elevation of 600 meters or 1,965 feet Takao is located within an hour of downtown Tokyo.  Known for its cooler air and a popular hiking spot, it is more about the great outdoors than the views. Part of the fun is the cable car or chairlifts to the top though many hike back down.
