Only an hour from Shinjuku (Tokyo) by train, Lake Sagami offers not only a beautiful waterfront for water sports and fishing activities, but also panoramic hiking trails and an amusement park. From the end of November to the middle of April I highly recommend to go and see Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest. Around 4 million LEDs light up the forest place in the evening, which makes it to one of the most popular and admired illumination spots in Japan.
