Our guide
Lake Sagami, in Midori Ward, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, is an artificial lake created in 1947 by damming the Sagami River, used both for recreation and for hydroelectric power. It was the venue for the canoeing events of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Our checked record says Sagamiko Station on the JR Chūō Main Line is about a 10-minute walk from Sagamiko Park by the lake, and there is also a bus route from Keiō Hashimoto Station; see “Plan your visit” below.
