Okutama, Mountain town in western Tokyo, Japan.

The Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park area contains Lake Okutama with floating bridges, dense forests, limestone caves, and multiple hiking trails throughout the mountains.

Established as a municipality in 1955, Okutama developed from a traditional wasabi farming region during the Edo Period into a natural recreational destination near Tokyo.

The Ozawa Brewery, dating from 1702, maintains traditional sake production methods while offering visitors guided tours and tasting sessions in its riverside garden.

Visitors can reach Okutama from central Tokyo in under two hours via JR Chuo Line and JR Ome Line, with buses connecting to major attractions.

The Nippara Limestone Cave maintains a constant temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, displaying centuries-old rock formations illuminated by colored lights.
