Tourist Spots

Nakatsu Ravine
Nakatsu Ravine is a famous tourist destination, especially in Autumn, when combination of red, yellow and green colors of leaves gives us a beautiful setting of natural harmony of colors reflecting over the river and streams.
The remains of Tochimoto Checkpoint Station
Before Tokugawa Shogunate Government started in Edo Period, then feudal lord Shingen Takeda of Koushu Region set up a checkpoint station at the gate to Koushu from Chichibu, a part of Chichibu belonging to Edo area. Located close to the mountain pass, this site still retains the atmosphere of feudal age scene.
Mitsumine Shrine
Mitsumine Shrine is now a famous place where a lot of "power spots", source of misterious power which gives us a good fortune is located. As the shrine sits in a high elevation area of 1100m above sea level and is near the high deep Tama mountain region, this has been the place of worship among pious worshippers.
