Hachikokuyama, Metropolitan nature reserve in Higashimurayama, Japan.
The park stretches along a 1.5-kilometer ridge with mixed woodland areas containing Konara and Kunugi oak trees reaching 100 meters above sea level.
The archaeological Shimoyakebe site within the park contains remains from the Jomon period, including ancient irrigation systems extending into the Muromachi period.
The forested hills of Hachikokuyama influenced the creation of landscapes in the animated film My Neighbor Totoro by Studio Ghibli.
Visitors can reach the park within three minutes by walking from Seibuen Station or ten minutes from the south exit of Seibu-Yuenchi Station.
From the summit, observers can view the mountains of eight different provinces, which gave the park its name Hachikokuyama meaning Eight Country Mountain.
