Itinerary description
|
Sagami (相模川) is a river in Kanagawa and Yamanashi prefectures.
The Sagami River drains Lake Yamanaka, the largest and eastern of the Fuji Five Lakes in Yamanashi Prefecture. It runs northwest, then northeast through Yamanashi, before following a generally southerly course to empty into Sagami Bay in the Pacific Ocean between the cities of Hiratsuka and Chigasaki. It is dammed in several places along its course, forming a series of reservoirs, the largest of which are Lake Sagami and Lake Tsukui.
On today's route, I cycled to the latter, Lake Tsukui.
Lake Tsukui is an artificial lake created in 1965 and located in Sagamihara (相模原)
I had to take a short route because I had little time. From the central street of Machida I turn on the bridge between Machida Station and the Machida tenmangu Temple and turn to the right when I see a large street again. This street, which has several intervals of cycle paths of a certain quality, leads after several kilometers to Lake Tsukui.
In my case, in addition to seeing the lake, I wanted to go around the Tsukuiko Shiroyama park, so I entered through a huge highway-type bridge, but with a very wide lane for pedestrians and bicycles, and exited through a smaller bridge further north. That large initial bridge has a hard uphill slope, but upon entering the town next to the lake it is compensated by certain descents. After the bridge there are really a lot of up and down hills, and the terrain is a bit uneven.
I would have liked to spend more time near the lake, go around it or follow the Sagami River but I didn't have much time.
After surrounding Tsukuiko Shiroyama Park, I return to the return path and continue straight to Machida.
Almost the entire route had a great view of the mountains, even on a very cloudy day like today. Sagamihara really feels like rural Japan.

Japón rural
No one would say that Sagamihara is so close to Tōkyō, and it is really so far away that it has nothing to do with neighborhoods like Shinjuku or Shibuya.
