Introduction to tourist spots

Noyamakita-Rokudoyama Park’s abundant nature has been preserved by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and it is the largest municipal park. It is located on the western side of Toritsu Sayama Park, a “green island” in the capital city. Most trees in the park are deciduous, like pin oaks, sawtooth oaks, and Japanese snowbells, so you can enjoy the landscapes of each season. At “Satoyama Experiential Area,” many park volunteers perform activities like paddy, field, and woods management, as well as the hosting of events.

Tradition / Culture
Indigo Dyeing Studio Kosoen
- Ome
A specialty indigo dyeing studio that uses a technique called “lye fermentation,” which has been used for over 400 years since the Edo period. Lye fermentation is gentle on the body and the environment, because it uses only natural materials. Repeated dyeing deepens the color. Ome has been known as a textile-producing area since ancient times.
The current studio was opened in 1989 by two brothers from the Murata family, in order to hand down handicraft traditions from the Edo period. The studio dyes many different items, such as clothing and upholstery. Customers can also enjoy indigo dyeing clothing or bandanas themselves for a small fee.
