Takayama City Forest
At Takayama Citizens' Forest, you can enjoy forest bathing while connecting with nature. The view from the observation deck near the summit is spectacular.
In late May, you can observe the Japanese tree frogs laying their eggs around the pond in Takayama.
Ushigamine (Takayama) has been developed as the “Takayama Citizens’ Forest,” creating a more accessible forest environment. It features hiking trails where you can choose a course that suits your time and physical ability.
