Mikumarikyo Forest Park

Mikumarikyo Forest Park is a forest park in Hiroshima Prefecture with multiple walking trails, camping areas, and spots to observe wildlife and plants. The grounds include facilities such as restrooms, picnic areas, and information centers distributed throughout the space.

The park was established during Japan's post-war environmental conservation movement as the region worked to protect natural landscapes. This period marked a shift toward preserving forest areas for future generations and public enjoyment.

The forest is a place where local people practice traditional Japanese nature appreciation and forest bathing throughout the year. Visitors can observe how communities use the space to connect with seasonal rhythms and find rest in natural surroundings.

The park is accessible with marked trails and multiple entry points suitable for different ability levels and interests. Check seasonal conditions before visiting since weather and trail conditions change throughout the year.

The park is organized into zones showcasing different tree species, creating distinct environments within a single area. Each section transforms noticeably with the seasons, offering visitors dramatically different impressions depending on when they return.
