Tranquil Autumn Stroll in Hikawa Gorge
氷川渓谷の静かな秋散歩

Located in the Hikawa Gorge, the Hikawa-Kobashi Bridge (氷川小橋; Hikawa-Kobashi) is a pedestrian suspension bridge just a short walk from Oku-Tama Station on the Ome Line. It offers unobstructed views of the emerald green waters of the Nippara River (日原川; Nippara-Kawa) and the lush slopes of the ravine, blanketed in evergreen trees and vibrant autumn foliage.

Situated in the northwesternmost part of Tokyo Prefecture, the Hikawa Gorge (氷川渓谷; Hikawa-Keikoku) is only a 90-minute drive from central Tokyo via the Chuo Expressway.

Visiting on an overcast weekday, my border collie and I enjoyed the serene river scenery and autumn foliage in peaceful solitude, with only the rustling trees, the gentle rambling of the river below, and the sound of our footsteps on the bridge and gravel breaking the calm.
