No.57 Origin at Tama river (source of a Water service in Tokyo)
(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).
There is a feeling, the terminal, when coming to JR Ome Line Okutama station
this place.
* Tokyo Nishitama District Okutama-machi *
The nature to make think that is whether or not "it is Tokyo here,
too, "A"" is spreading when visiting Okutama. It is a source
area in Tama-gawa and it becomes some popular place regardless of the men
and women of all ages as the hike and the campsite. Moreover, it is the
area which has Kogawachi dam (Okutama-ko Lake) which is the water jar of
Tokyo people and is charged with an important role as the source of Tokyo
people.
It boards a red commuter train in Chuo Line from standing close together
Shinjuku at the skyscraper and it heads for Tachikawa. It looks at each
house which stood closely in line, being built from the top of the viaduct
and it lies to the west to the west. It transferred respectively in Tachikawa,
Ome and in the last, it boarded Okutama's leading of four pieces of organization.
With approaching Okutama, the rate of the youngster who shoulders the family,
the elderly couple, the camp set who carried a knapsack and so on increases
and the mountains gets to appear gradually about the car window, too.
To be Okutama finally more gets to seem from On-Take station. It gets to
run in the towering mountain while making a key key wheel creak and it
takes on an aspect of the ravine railroad just like. In the long seat of
the commuter train, the adult, too, turns height into the car and becomes
nailing to the scenery of the car window. Then, it becomes terminal Okutama
when going through the tunnel.
In front of JR Okutama station
The bus goes out of the front of the station to each area. Moreover, 歩
can be advanced to the outback to Nichihara limestone cave, Okutama-ko
Lake, Tanba, Kosuge. It didn't decide where it went but it boarded a bus
for Kosuge after saying that there were that the day trip bathing is done
facilities, "hot water in Kosuge", in Kosuge-mura in the Tama
source and confirming a return bus convenience. It transferred and saying
that it should go to the bus service operated by village which connects
in Kanafuro on the way or at Tamoto bridge on it for 5 round-trips to be
operated on the 1st by West Tokyo bus to Kosuge and moreover to go to hot
water in Kosuge
Kosuge-mura is a source area in Tama-gawa and is a starting point for a
climb to Daibosatsu-toge which was former back Koshu Highway (Oume Highway).
Daibosatsu-toge becomes the watershed of the Tama-gawa basin system and
Fujikawa basin system. When thinking from the railway of the bus and so
on in the sunset in the watershed and on the ridge, Kosuge-mura and Tabayama-mura
seem to belong to Tokyo, but it doesn't meet and become Yamanashi Prefecture
actually. It is from that it became easy for the road repair as the compensation
which accompanies Kogawachi dam construction from becoming in repair, Showa
about the Taisho Era to be able to pass a car that the traffic with Higawa
(現 Okutama station) became good and a trade before it was done via the
big bodhisattva road from Enzan. At present, all shuttle buses to Uenohara
and the Enzan area on the side of Yamanashi Prefecture think whether or
not it isn't inconvenient in many ways for the senior citizen and the student
who doesn't have a car because they aren't running and become a convenience
from Okutama station on the side of Tokyo but are Yamanashi Prefecture
in case of public administration. It says that the high school student
goes to Uenohara with the school bus.
It sometimes says the summer vacation inside, too, and it took on the visitor
that 立客 comes out and the bus departed. At present, it becomes a national
road 411 number but it is the road which was upgraded from principal local
road (the prefectural highway) Kofu Ome Line in 1982 and it is Oume Highway
where this is well-informed about Shinjuku. It becomes Okutama-ko Lake
(Kogawachi dam) when the left road passes by the tunnel at the ruggedly
at wall which blew mortar into the rock of 素堀 only and it emerges from
under the dam at the dam as the look. The half passenger got off here.
The pavilion of Tokyo waterworks department is installed in this place.
In the -- car that the light at the tunnel exit becomes big forward, in
the sightseeing brochure, at the look -- car window, it is the surface
of the lake in Okutama-ko Lake.
The bus runs while it curves as it sews a dam shore of the lake. The surface
of the lake on the lake is beautiful but there is a colony which the moving
submerged under this lake. There is following description in Tatsuzo Ishikawa's
"the shadow village".
Then in development., the great city which is called " Tokyo is in
the shade of the big tree. " of being made no good already by the
village when having still become shade in the good. town while Kogawachi
becomes sacrifice in developing Tokyo as the grass dies and being in the
shade on the dying. mountain
Kogawachi dam is the dam for the water supply to begin in 1935 and for
the world to be record-high as the completion, those days in 1957 via the
stopping during the wartime. When coming to peak Tanibashi who is the end
of the upper stream at the dam, the passenger in the car, too, became only
five.
The floating bridge which crosses the surface of the lake in front of Kogawachi
shrine
Separately, it enters a national road 139 number with the national road
411 number and Oume Highway to the Tanba and Enzan area and it heads for
Kosuge. The brook returns to Kosuge river, too, and the bus runs in the
quiet clear stream which was surrounded by the mountain to have made towering
while it gives a groan. Then, it becomes Yamanashi Prefecture and it becomes
Kanafuro. It is necessary to confirm beforehand with the timetable which
is shown in Okutama station because it is necessary to transfer in the
bus service operated by village of the cab-behind-engine bus but there
are a case to transfer in Kanafuro with the timetable and moreover a case
to transfer at Tamoto bridge at the end to go to hot water in Kosuge. The
leg has run out when having made a mistake here. Because it becomes a transfer
in Tamoto bridge this time, it becomes a ride already for a while.
To have written down a short while ago, too, Tabayama-mura, Kosuge-mura
are Yamanashi Prefecture but have the area where the specification of the
flood control forest by Tokyo is done. Therefore, a management work place
in the flood control forest at Tokyo is provided for Tabayama-mura. Even
if it says Yamanashi Prefecture, it is charged with an important role as
the source at Tokyo.
All passengers got off at Tamoto bridge and all passengers boarded a pretty
cab-behind-engine bus. In the village, by conscientious bus, that 100 yen
are uniform completely, the villager, too, seems to be using this bus casually.
Making it be possible to connect with hot water, West Tokyo bus at the
public office and in Kosuge by patrolling each colony in the village in
turn Then, for about 3 hours, it arrived at hot water in the Tama source
and Kosuge from Shinjuku. The spa was the alkaline clear hot water that
the skin is smooth. The car of the "Hachioji" "Tama"
number was stopping at the parking lot closely.
It is the Kosuge Kawada 摩源 style of Tamoto bridge.
