Todoroki Valley is the only valley located in the Tokyo's 23 wards. It is deep and relaxing with a lot of nature.

With its great accessibility, you will find many families and couples enjoying the nature.

The red bridge is located at the beginning of the valley from Todoroki Station.

At the opposite end of the valley, which is the side of Tama River, you will find a small shrine and... a waterfall.

A waterfall? Ah, this is not the same as the ones I love. Yet, the sound was relaxing.

A cafe called Setsugetsuka (Meaning Snow, Moon and Flower, which is the examples of beauty.) is located right in front of the waterfall. You can enjoy Japanese sweets here.

A plant is standing in front of a group of Tradescantia fluminensis. It's like a world of fairytale.

By the way, I found the sunlight VISIBLE at one place of the valley. The shaft of light was amazingly beautiful.

Even this phenomenon is enough to worth thinking of visiting Todoroki Valley again.
