The founder is the late actor Hiroshi Yagyu. The forest garden, which has been protecting and caring for the natural landscape for over 35 years, is finally welcoming spring. In particular, there is a colony of valuable Japanese anthrax that has been protected for over 30 years, and the number of these trees has now increased to around 10,000, delighting visitors every year. This year, the blooming period is a little late, and the best time to see them is expected to be from late April to Golden Week. Coinciding with the flowering season, the trees begin to turn green, and the refreshing season begins, and summer birds also arrive in full bloom. In addition, on the premises of the forest garden, a wildflower shop opens in the courtyard in time for the arrival of the spring season, surrounded by brightly colored flowers.

It is also becoming increasingly popular as a photo spot for people with dogs. Last year, a “Mori no Dog Run” also opened in the Mori Garden. It is a place where you can observe wild birds throughout the year, but especially in late spring, summer birds such as the Ficed Flycatcher and the Great Blue Flycatcher fly in and make their beautiful calls in the forest. Yatsugatake Club welcomes you with such a wish that you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while and relax your mind and body by interacting with the forest.
