Kamiyama Forest Park

Kamiyama Forest Park is a nature park in Kamiyama with multiple walking trails that wind through thick woodland, allowing visitors to observe native plants and local wildlife. The grounds also include picnic spots, parking areas, and restroom facilities.

The park was established in the late twentieth century as an important step in Japan's environmental conservation efforts. Its development reflects how the nation modernized forest management while maintaining traditional practices.

The park serves as a place where people connect with local forest traditions, particularly through seasonal programs where visitors learn about Japanese woodland management practices passed down through generations. These activities reveal how the community values and maintains its relationship with the forest.

The park is accessible by bus from surrounding cities in Tokushima Prefecture, making it convenient for visitors without personal transportation. The trails are well-marked, but sturdy footwear is recommended since the terrain can be uneven.

The park contains several distinct ecological zones created by its particular geographic position, allowing different habitats to exist side by side in a relatively small area. This close diversity makes observing the variety of plants and animals especially rewarding.
