Great hiking course for family
Large park, numerous toilet buildings. Great place for hiking. Park center building has activities for children, books. Parking is paid.
This is a visit from Daimaruyama, the highest mountain in Yokohama City.
As the name suggests, it's spacious and full of nature.
The hiking course is also well maintained, but there were some areas that were impassable. I think it's perfect for bird watching and hiking.
I visited at the beginning of October. I went there to inspect the campground, but unlike private campgrounds, it was quite small and there were no tent sites, so you had to use tents that had already been set up. There are no shops, and the gates are closed at night, making it difficult to buy anything, and there are no shops nearby, so it seems difficult to camp normally. This is a facility where children can participate in outdoor classes in nature observation education, and where citizens can interact with nature. It's a great place to be as an oasis where you can relax even a little bit in the middle of a large residential area. There were people jogging and people spreading out their lunch boxes. There are many vending machines for drinking water, but the restaurants are closed, and even if they are open, they are only open for guests and on weekends, so it is better to bring your own food. Also, please note that there is no information pamphlet for the facility in the main building, so you will have to walk to the nature observation center.
A forest the size of 9.6 Tokyo Domes was opened in 1986 to provide a place to get closer to and learn about nature. A ranger from the Wild Bird Society of Japan is always on duty. Responsible for greeting visitors and conducting environmental surveys and management. These include the volunteer organization Tomo no Kai and the information dissemination organization Nature Observation Center.
