[About Sarushima Island]

Sarushima ("Monkey Island") is the only natural island in Tokyo Bay and is a wonderful place for a day trip, particularly during the summer. It is located less than 2 km off the coast of Yokosuka.

The main points of the island are full of historical and cultural significance and beach area. Due to its position in Tokyo Bay, Sarushima has long been regarded as a strategic point of defense for the Japanese mainland. The island contains the ruins of militaristic fortifications from as far back as the Tokugawa shogunate (which lasted until the mid-1800's). Brick-lined tunnels and walls of fortresses still remain from generations past, though they are now overgrown with plants for a very neat atmosphere of walking through important places of times gone by.

Some simple pathways snake throughout the island, taking you from the beach area through the militaristic ruins, and then to the outer banks of the island. The walking contains some very, very mild trekking, suitable for children, and takes only about an hour to explore the whole island. Wooden walkways spread through the forest, leading to the far ends of the island which contain some beautiful cliffs and bluffs and scenic outlooks over the ocean. Sarushima is also a popular spot for fishing, and fishermen will often be found casting their lines into the ocean at their lucky points on different corners of the island.

[About Mt.Tenran & Mt. Tounosu- A Great Spot to Enjoy Natural Surroundings in Saitama]

Located at what might be considered the commutable edge of Tokyo, Hanno City in Saitama Prefecture is a great spot to enjoy local natural surroundings. During the summer months the Iruma River which runs through the city is a drawcard for swimming and BBQs and in the autumn the changing Fall colors draw sightseers to a nature reserve north of river.

The path up to the top is a twisty sort, with well-maintained trails snaking around in various directions. The nature is truly beautiful - quiet forests, peaceful trees. A visit in summer, as the deep green colors are serene. One path leads past a rocky wall filled with 16 stone rakan statues. Rakan are usually miniature stone statues carved in the likeness of the disciples of Buddha. These particular rakan were said to have been donated by the mother of the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, a major political and military leader from the late 1600's. According to legend, the shogun was seriously ill, and his mother asked temple priests to pray for his health and long life. When the shogun recovered, his mother donated these statues in appreciation. That event caused the mountain to be renamed Mt. Rakan, changed from its original name of Mt. Atago (which had been named for the Atago Shrine, which used to be at the mountain's summit).

[About Lake Miayazawako, Metsä Village,]

Located in the west of Saitama, this serene onsen is easily accessible from central Tokyo. Metsä (Forest in Finnish), the first Moomin theme park outside Finland, opened at Lake Miyazawa on March 16, 2019. The surroundings of the lake remind a lot of Finland where Tove Jansson lived and created the Moomins.
