These are the main options for spending the night in the Okutama area.
| Options | Notes |
|---|---|
| Near Ome Station / 青梅駅 | Cheapest option but plain |
| Near Okutama Station / 奥多摩駅 | Moderately priced and simple |
| On Mt. Mitake / 御岳山 | More expensive but scenic |
My recommended ryokan on Mt. Mitake:
Shukubo Komadori-sanso / 宿坊駒鳥山荘
- Booking.com link
- Google Maps link
- Recommended for a Friday night stay before hiking on Saturday.
I recommend this ryokan because it was pleasant to wake up to the sound of birds and to hike nearby in the early morning.
Now, hiking courses.
