Day 1: WELCOME TO TABAYAMA-ARRIVAL & LOCAL INTRODUCTION

Enjoy a relaxing fishing experience at a village-run fishing pond surrounded by the mountains of Tabayama.
Catch your own fish and experience a simple countryside activity enjoyed by local visitors. Kei will arrange admission and fishing equipment, making it easy even for first-time anglers.
After you catch your fish, it will be prepared and grilled for you. The grilling process takes approximately one hour, giving you time to slow down and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of rural Japan.
Take a walk along the nearby river, explore the surrounding area, enjoy the mountain scenery, take photos, or simply relax and enjoy a quiet moment away from the crowds of Tokyo.
When your fish is ready, return to enjoy a freshly grilled meal that you caught yourself. Rather than rushing from one activity to another, this experience lets you enjoy the slower pace of life that makes Tabayama Village special.
Day 2: DISCOVER TABAYAMA YOUR WAY – E-BIKE & NATURE DAY
Tabayama-mura
4h
Ride through quiet village roads, pass traditional homes, forests, and mountain scenery, and experience a slower side of Japan that most travelers never see.
With an E-bike, you can comfortably explore the area at your own pace while enjoying fresh mountain air and beautiful natural surroundings.
Start the day with two locally made chimaki (traditional bamboo leaf-wrapped sticky rice dumplings) and hot coffee before cycling along Route 411. Along the way, stop at scenic viewpoints, natural spring water, and quiet mountain bridges before enjoying an easy forest hike to a hidden local shrine.
This experience is not about rushing from place to place. It is about slowing down, connecting with nature, enjoying local flavors, and discovering the charm of a small Japanese mountain village.
Whether you enjoy cycling, photography, hiking, or simply escaping the crowds of Tokyo, this day offers a unique opportunity to experience authentic Rural Japan.
Day 3: FAREWELL TO TABAYAMA-Morning E-Bike Ride & Return to Tokyo

Say goodbye to rural Japan and return to the city with unforgettable memories.
Okutama-machi

Before returning to Tokyo, spend some free time around Okutama Station. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, try regional craft beer, browse souvenir shops, or take a short walk to nearby shrines and riverside areas.
