Insider tip — Doushi-mura (Doshi Village) in the Tanzawa mountains is a cult destination for Tokyo cyclists — the Doshi Road (Route 76) through forested mountain passes is one of the great road cycling routes within two hours of the capital. Beni Tsubaki no Yu (Red Camellia Bath) is the ideal endpoint after descending from the peaks: slide into the bicarbonate waters, watch the camellia blossoms along the Doshi River, and breathe the cedar-scented mountain air.
