Yama no Furusato Mura

Yama no Furusato Mura, Nature park in Okutama, Japan

Yama no Furusato Mura is a 34-hectare interactive nature park in Okutama, Tokyo, along the Saiguchi stream that flows into Lake Okutama. It has a visitor center, a campground with log cabins and tent sites, a craft center, a restaurant, and nature trails of 730 to 3,000 meters.

The park opened in October 1990 as a nature-interaction facility of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, on 34 hectares along the Saiguchi stream that feeds Lake Okutama. It is managed by Okutama Town, which runs the visitor center, campsite and craft center. The site lies in Kawano, Okutama, beside the Okutama Shuyu road.

The name Yama no Furusato Mura, "Mountain Hometown Village", frames the park as a recreated rural settlement rather than a plain reserve. Its visitor center keeps interpreters on duty who explain the surrounding nature and human history on request, and the craft center runs woodworking, stonework, pottery and soba-making classes. Both centers hold events several times a month.

The park is open 9:00–17:00 and closes from 29 December to 3 January. On foot, take a Nishi Tokyo bus from Okutama Station to Oguno-jinja-mae, then walk about 40 minutes; on weekends and holidays a shuttle runs from Otsuku stop and from the station. Parking holds 132 cars, including 5 large buses, and there are wheelchair ramps and Western-style toilets.

The park opened in October 1990 as a nature-interaction facility and covers 34 hectares along the Saiguchi stream that feeds Lake Okutama. Okutama Town serves as its designated manager. Visitor facilities include a visitor center staffed by interpreters, log cabins, tent sites, craft workshops and trails of 730 to 3,000 metres.
