About half-an-hour train ride away from central Tokyo, Todoroki Valley is a beautiful getaway from the city, and a place where you can truly forget about the stresses and hustle of everyday life . From Todoroki Station, find the entrance to Todoroki Valley next to Seijo Ishii supermarket and descend down into this Studio Ghibli-esque wonder of nature and walk along the small river which carves through Tokyo like a small urban jungle. The pathway will lead you past several small shrines and across a picturesque bridge until you reach Setsugekka, a lovely tea house which offers green tea, amazake and a variety of Japanese sweets.
