Olivia Explores Chichibu
This summer, while most days it was too hot to do much more than sit in my room with the AC on and read, I escaped the heat to make a few day trips outside of Tokyo. One of my favourite trips was to Chichibu, out in western Saitama.
Surrounded by lush forests and turquoise rivers, we were able to spend the day wandering around the local town and then hiking in the forest to a temple and then to a waterfall. We were accompanied by my friend's enthusiastic shiba inu who was clearly in her element in the more wild environment of Chichibu.
The greenery of Chichibu made for a great day trip and was a welcome change of pace from Tokyo, I would recommend you go if you have a spare day one weekend!
