After crossing a sports field, a brief stretch of road and a staircase, the route finally reaches the treed pedestrian boulevards of Tama Hijirigaoka, especially stunning in autumn.
After crossing Oyato park and climbing through a local road, take a sharp turn right on the stone staircase just after the rice paddy (keep your eyes open!).
From there, you will reach the top of Toritsu-Sakuragaoka park, with open views over the Tama River and Mt. Fuji before climbing down again (with a brief detour to another Fuji observatory). A relaxing local run through local parks and residential zones will then take you back to the station.
