Tokyo's Hidden Gems A Tranquil Pink Trails Across the Tama Area

There are essentially two Tokyos: the one of concrete and steel everybody knows, and the real Tokyo, which notably includes Tama. 

The sprawling area located west of the city’s 23 wards is where people go to enjoy the serene side of Japan’s capital with hikes through unspoiled nature landscapes, camping, stays at traditional inns, contact with traditional Japanese crafts like fabric dyeing, and coveted views of budding Sakura flowers. 

In this January, Tama also started producing craft gin at the Tokyo Hachioji Distillery, the first facility of its kind in the area. In short, without a visit to Tama, you won’t get the full story of Tokyo.
