There are the main options for spending the night in the Okutama area
| Options | Notes |
|---|---|
| Near Ome Station / 青梅駅 | Cheapest option but boring |
| Near Oku-Tama Station / 奥多摩駅 | Middle price but simple |
| On Mt. Mitake / 御岳山 | Pricier but more scenic |
Here is my favorite ryokan on Mt. Mitake:
- 宿坊駒鳥山荘
- Shukubo Komadori-sanso

- Highly recommend staying here on Friday night & hiking on Saturday
I would recommend the ryokan on Mt. Mitake as it was pretty nice waking up to birds & getting to hike in the dark near by
Now, hiking courses! 💪
