Sayama Prefectural Natural Park

The natural park spans 7.75 square kilometers across Higashiyamato, Higashimurayama, Musashimurayama, and Mizuho regions, featuring forests and grass fields.

The establishment of Sayama Prefectural Natural Park in March 1951 created a protected space near Lake Tama, which supplies water to Tokyo since 1927.

Local agricultural traditions produce Lake Tama pears, grapes, apples, and Sayama tea, while the region maintains cotton weaving practices for silk pongee fabric.

Visitors can reach the park through a five-minute walk from Seibu-Yuenchi Station on the Seibu Tamako Line, with direct access to hiking trails and cycling paths.

Sayama Katakuri-no-Sato contains Tokyo's largest colony of dogtooth violets, with 200,000 flowers blooming during spring across the protected area.
