Hamura-Yamaguchi Light Railway Abandoned Line Exploration

About this event

This tour walks the abandoned railway tracks of the Hamura-Yamaguchi Light Railway, which played a major role in Tokyo's waterworks projects from the Taisho to Showa periods, including the construction of the Murayama and Yamaguchi Reservoirs. This time, participants will walk a course aiming for Murayama Reservoir as the goal. Departing from the Hamura City Tourist Information Center, the route heads toward Murayama Reservoir via the Tamagawa Josui No. 3 Sluice Gate, Totomisaka-ue, Shinmei Green Road, Yokota Air Base, Matsuyama bus stop, Hakonegasaki Station, Nanohana Clinic-mae bus stop, Yokota (lunch), a series of tunnels, and Tamako Shrine. Part of the route uses public transportation such as trains and buses, and the walking portion is approximately 15 km. You can touch upon history while walking through the scenery connected to the paths where the former railway ran, sluice gates, and reservoirs.
