Takiyama Prefectural Natural Park

Takiyama Prefectural Natural Park is a green space in western Tokyo centered on Mount Taki where two rivers meet. The park contains multiple hiking routes of varying difficulty that connect different areas and viewpoints across the landscape.

The area became a prefectural park in 1950 to protect its natural environment and preserve the region's heritage. Remains of a 16th-century fortress once occupied the mountain and guarded the surrounding lands.

The park attracts local visitors who use the trails for walking, jogging, and nature watching throughout the year. You will see families and individuals enjoying the outdoor spaces as part of their regular routines.

The park has marked trails designed for different fitness levels, with restrooms and information boards positioned throughout. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, especially during warmer seasons when visits tend to be longer.

The mountain sits where two rivers meet, creating distinctive views from several vantage points across the landscape. On clear days, you can see the flat plains spreading below and trace where the waterways flow through the area.
