The best fish market in this area with large car parks to buy fresh fish, especially to some quantity. Transported largely from fishing ports on Japan Sea.They make fillet of a whole fish as you like and remove a shell off from shelled oysters. Worth visiting just for watching a wide varieties of fresh fish.

This is a great place to experience a different facet of Tokyo, which is often regarded as a fast-paced, bustling city. The Minamisawa Springs are located in Higashikurume, which is about 30 minutes by train from Ikebukuro in downtown Tokyo so if you are staying in Tokyo for a while, you could come by to take a break from the downtown district.
The Ochiai River Minamisawa Springs is a quiet area, surrounded by Forests on one side and residential houses on the other, so it's really interesting to see the contrast between a place like this and downtown Tokyo. Having lived in this area for five years during my childhood, it is really the peacefulness here that I think of when someone mentions Japan. There's also a shrine next to the Springs, so you could take a look there if you want to see some of the cultural landmarks of the area.
The Springs connect to the Ochiai River, which has paved paths for bikers and pedestrians so I definitely recommend walking (or biking) along there. It's a really nice walk as you often see ducks in the river, and kids playing in the water. There's also a bamboo forest along the way, a bit off the river, so you could stop for a visit there.... not the most common thing to have a bamboo forest in Tokyo!
The only downside would be that it is not close to Higashikurume station, so you will need to do quite a bit of walking to get there. Fortunately, you can simply follow the Ochiai River upstream and you will eventually reach the park near the Springs so after you find the river, it should be an easy walk. Here's a map (Japanese, but self explanatory): www.city.higashikurume.lg.jp/kensaku/shincyaku/pdf/2010/gaide_map.pdf
There are no buses that go there, and I would not recommend taking a taxi as it is pricy and takes away the experience of enjoying the river scenery. I would also suggest buying some drinks/snacks near the station first, as there won't be much shops along the way.

GAPのアウトレットが入っているのは珍しいのではないかと思います。
2回ほど行きましたが週末は広い駐車場が混んでいて停めるのに苦労しました。
平日ならもっとゆっくり楽しめると思います。

落合川沿いの遊歩道から南沢水辺公園に入り、少し行ったところにある神社です。
小高い丘の上にあり、周りは樹木に囲まれています。とにかく静かな環境で、居るだけで癒されます。

入口は３か所あります。私がはじめ入ったところは間口が狭く、本当に公園なのと思いましたが、中に進むと欝蒼とした竹林が広がっていました。約２千本の竹林を囲むように遊歩道が整備され、湧き水や沢沿いに歩くこともできます。ほかには誰もいず、静寂を独り占めできました。
園内はそんなに広くはなく、帰りは浄水場のほうからでると、そこには竹垣と竹でできた門があり、どうやらこちらが正門のようでした。

駅構内からも場所がわかるが地図も出ています。人がたくさんいることもあるが、天気が悪い日は富士山が見えないためほとんどいません。

マッサージ風呂が種類豊富なので筋肉痛緩和には役立ちましたが、温泉好きとしてはここは最悪。内風呂は塩素臭でむせ返りそう。手に塩素臭が染みこみました。屋根のある露天風呂は人が刺さっているような混雑。大きな露天が一番よかったが屋根がないので、紫外線モロ浴び。寝湯は湯量が少なすぎ。最悪な客層。サウナ→水風呂も体を流さずドボンする人だらけ。子供連れもひどい。休日料金780円は高すぎ。

黒目川遊歩道沿いから少し入ったところにある立派なお寺です。江戸時代に建てられた本殿のほか、護摩堂、地蔵堂、観音堂、鐘楼堂など、いずれも趣のある建物で、歴史を感じさせます。
境内には松や山茶花など樹木も多く、非常に居心地のよいお寺でした。
