Local attractions

Fujino (population of 8000 residents) is known as an art village and one of the Transition Movement towns in Japan. With history as an artists' colony where artists evacuated during the Second World War, Fujino has been the site of several art projects and residencies since the 1990s. It is a decentralized satoyama*, consisting of dozens of villages nestled in the valleys overlooked by the Tanzawa Mountains, surrounded by rich forests and streams.
