Fresh Greenery and Chirping Birds

Tokyo Metropolitan Komiya Park

About 1.5 km due north
from Hachioji Station
there is a park
with pleasant greenery.

As it is a metropolitan park,
the paths are well-maintained,
making it very easy to walk,
so sneakers are fine.

It is not that large,
so you can easily enjoy it
with a hiking mood.

Known as a
mecca for birdwatching,
the voices of birds
are lively from everywhere.

Since it is a little
far from the station,
depending on the time you visit,
you will hardly pass anyone,

allowing you to enjoy the greenery
quietly and to your heart's content
all by yourself.

At the top of the climb,
there is a spacious
field,
which is also a pleasant place.

Having a packed lunch or
taking a break here is nice, but
my personal recommendation is
the nearby 'Roadside Station Takiyama'.

The only roadside station in Tokyo,
it is a fun place
about a 30-minute walk

north from here,
where you can shop for
fresh vegetables and local specialties
from Hachioji.

You can also eat meals,
and the ice cream here
is very delicious.

There is also a bus stop
nearby,
so you can return
to Hachioji Station from here.

To get to Komiya Park,
it takes about 15 minutes
by bus and walking from Hachioji Station,
or about 25 minutes on foot.

Mt. Takao is also nice,
but it is crowded,
so for those who want to enjoy it quietly,
I recommend this place.

If you would like,
how about making this
one of your destinations
on a nice day?
