Fureai no Michi), alternately called the Capital Region Nature Trail (???????, Shutoken Shizen Hod?), is a collection of hiking trails starting and ending at "Umenoki Daira" located along National Route 20 at the foothills of Mount Takao in Hachi?ji, Tokyo, Japan. It circumnavigates the entire Kant? Region through Mount Takao, Okutama, Chichibu, Mount My?gi, Mount Taihei, Mount Tsukuba, Kasumigaura, Kuj?kuri Beach, B?s?, Miura Peninsula, and Tanzawa, stretching 1,665 km.
