This Japan Today article outlines a short pleasant stroll in an easy to access neighborhood of Tokyo, perfect for a spring day outing.

The walk finishes at a hot springs bath in Musashi Koyama. Serious hikers/walkers in Japan always try to finish walks with a rejuvenating soak, but that’s not so easy to do in the city.

For those who are especially ambitious, turn this walk into an all day outing by starting with this walk, which starts from Gotanda Station and finishes at Meguro Fudo temple, the second stop on this springtime stroll, and then continuing on from there.
