We like Mitake

Many nice problems on boulders spread along the river bed, including the classic benchmark problem Ninja Gaeshi. Easy access from Tokyo by train and on-site pad rental at the Manunga 2nd hand outdoor store (opposite the 7Eleven) make this a perfect destination for business trip weekends.

Small but beautiful area near Tokyo. Gets crowded with friendly climbers all the time.
