Akiruno, Tokyo is a place rich with nature, about 40 to 50 km west of central Tokyo.
With a population of about 80,600 (March, 2020), the climate is colder than in central Tokyo, and the altitude is high, so the area is not so hot in the summer.
Akigawa and Itsukaichi merged in 1995 to form Akiruno.
The name of the city is derived from the fact that "Akiru Shrine" was located in the former town of Itsukaichi.

It is a recommended travel destination for those who are tired of urban life, and has places such as instagram spots and stylish cafes that can be seen in the video.
