Hachioji

Just a few minutes’ walk from Hachioji Station’s north exit is a summer market that’s got it all. You can peruse the stalls selling famed local goodies—from morning glory flowers, to Edo-style wind chimes, to tasty street food. And since it’s that time of year (hot), you’ll see lots of folks dressed in yukata (colorful light kimono). You can also take a ride in a rickshaw during the festival—another throwback to the Edo Period.
