Makuyama Park

Makuyama Park is a scenic park where winding paths lead through thick vegetation and connect multiple observation points overlooking the surrounding landscape. The grounds include designated picnic areas and restroom facilities with clear signs marking the trails.

The park was founded in 1980 as an important step in developing public recreation facilities for the Yugawara region. Its creation reflected local efforts to preserve and make natural spaces accessible to the community.

The park serves as a gathering place where residents celebrate traditional festivals connected to local customs and seasonal transitions throughout the year.

The trails are well-marked throughout the park, making it easy to navigate the grounds and find your way. Wearing comfortable walking shoes is recommended, as terrain varies and vegetation can be dense along the paths.

The park holds an extensive collection of native plant species that shift in appearance through different seasons, offering changing visual experiences month to month. This seasonal transformation keeps the landscape looking different with each visit.
