Hinode, Mountain town in Nishitama district, Japan

Located in western Tokyo Prefecture, Hinode spans across 28 square kilometers of land at the base of the Okutama Mountains at 902 meters elevation.

The merging of Hirai and Oguno villages in 1955 formed Hinode, which received official town status on June 1, 1974 within Tokyo Prefecture.

The Myokengu Shrine, established in 685 AD and reconstructed in 1987, stands as one of the principal religious structures in the region.

While lacking direct rail connections, Hinode maintains accessibility through the Ken-O Expressway and sits 500 meters from the Itsukaichi Line in Akiruno.

Former Prime Minister Nakasone's cottage in Hinode served as a meeting location for diplomatic summits, including discussions with US President Ronald Reagan.
