This was my second bicycle camping trip and, as such, I had some difficulties, particularly in finding a suitable campsite. There is a great cycling path that circles Lake Tamako and Lake Sayama. It is just 20 kilometers all together. It starts on Itsukaichi Kaido in Kichijoji and follows the Seibu Line most of the way for 10 kilometers to Sayama Park on the eastern end of Lake Tamako. It then takes a 10 kilometer loop around Lake Tamako and Lake Sayama. It goes past the Seibu Amusement Park, Seibu Lions Baseball Dome and numerous parks and shrines. Lake Tamako and Lake Sayama are manmade lakes which are used as reservoirs for the City of Tokyo. The public water works are very protective of the cleanliness of the lakes so no water sports such as swimming and boating are allowed in the lakes. The lakes are nestled in the Sayama Hills so the path takes a winding, up and down route around the lakes. The hills provide a nice workout for sports cyclists and an achievable challenge for everyone else. The loop around the lakes is almost entirely in the shade so it is even pleasant to ride it in the hot days of summer.
