Okutama - Giant Trees

[IMAGE]
Okutama - These magnificent trees are often more than a thousand years old. About six of the largest in the area are within a day's hike in these undisturbed forests.

Much of the forest is Beech or "Buna" which retains water. The giants include Tochinoki, Katsura and Misunara trees.

Enjoy the waterfalls and streams! Surprisingly, these remote forests are still officially within the City of Tokyo.
