Hinohara, Rural village in Nishitama district, Japan
Located in West Tokyo Prefecture, Hinohara extends across 105 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with forests covering 93 percent of its area.
The village emerged on April 1, 1889, in the former Musashi Province after the Meiji Restoration reforms integrated it into Nishitama District.
The village name derives from Chamaecyparis obtusa trees, which provided essential timber for constructing wooden buildings in ancient Edo.
Transportation relies on bus services connecting to Musashi-Itsukaichi Station, as the village operates without passenger railway infrastructure.
Hinohara stands as the final remaining village designation in mainland Tokyo Prefecture, with a population density of 20 people per square kilometer.
