The park is well known for the irises that bloom in June Hachikokuyama Experience Village (hands-on experience center) (Higashimurayama) A center for interactive learning about archaeology, nature, arts and crafts, and local cultural traditions, with a common theme of connections between people and nature. Municipal Sayama Park (Higashiyamato) Managed in conjunction with the Higashiyamato City Museum and staffed by volunteers, this natural area is especially brilliant when goldband lilies and Japanese gentian are in bloom. Lake Tama Cycling Road A 21.9-kilometer bicycle and pedestrian road, starting from Higashimurayama with an 11-kilometer circuit of Lake Tama and continuing to the Sakai Purification Plant in Musashino. Municipal Noyamakita Park (Musashimurayama) Noted for its katakuri flowers, the park also has an experiential learning center for the Musashimurayama schools and a swimming pool (open in summer). Municipal Rokudoyama Park (Mizuho Town Park) Appreciated for centuries as a venue for cherry blossom viewing, this park is also popular for bird watching in winter. The viewing platform is an excellent way to experience the scenic grandeur of the Sayama Hills. Saitama Midori-no-mori Nature Park (Iruma) This 85-hectare park is managed as a preserve, with groves of mixed tree species and wetland areas left in their natural state for outdoor viewing. Sayama Hill Flora and Fauna Interaction Center (Tokorozawa) One of a series of five centers operated by Saitama Prefecture for nature study in the Sayama Hills. The Seasons in the Sayama Hills The children have arrived, to chase the kabutomushi beetles and butterflies (and even Daddy looks a bit dreamy). Look in the direction of a sweet fragrance, where a large goldband lily is rearing its head. The satoyama in summer is crowded with life forms, including chirping cicadas in the afternoon and fireflies in the evening. As spring visits the earthen-colored fields of the satoyama*, nations of plants take birth one after another. There is the silver-green of konara oaks, the deep red of mountain cherry trees, and the dark green of conifers. The mixed woods of the hills contain many kinds of trees, and this is the best time to distinguish them clearly, as their colors offer vivid proof of ongoing biodiversity. (*Satoyama, literally “hamlet-mountain,” is the term for a natural wooded area that has been partially managed by local farmers and foresters over a period of centuries, typical in rural Japan.) Fireflies flit to and fro and foxtails glisten above the autumn-colored grasses at the water’s edge. Wild grapes, Japanese beautyberries, gamazumi cranberry bushes, acorns from sawtooth and konara oaks… Enjoy observing the various nuts, fruits, and berries as you walk. The autumn colors of the mixed-species woodlands are at their peak in early December. Birds appearing in the satoyama in winter include the dusky thrush, pale thrush, red-flanked bluetail and Daurian redstart. The leaves are fallen from the diverse trees of the woodland, leaving clear sight lines that are perfect for birdwatching. Enjoy the crunch of new-fallen leaves while strolling in the crisp, refreshing air. In Sayama Park the park rangers lead guided walks. Experience nature during a one-hour ramble through the satoyama. The themes vary with the seasons, and the individual rangers. For further information, visit www.sayamaparks.com. Welcome to the Metropolitan Parks in the Sayama Hills A protected watershed forest area surrounding Lake Tama and Lake Sayama, which were created as a “water jug” for greater Tokyo, the Sayama Hills remain as a green oasis on the edge of the urbanized area, and one of the finest and most important natural environments in the metro region. There are now four parks managed by the Tokyo metropolitan government in the Sayama Hills, each with its own distinctive characteristics. Sayama Park has long been a favored spot for school excursions and other outings. Walking and observing nature in the mixed-species woodlands is an excellent, family-friendly introduction to the enjoyment of the Sayama Hills. Hachikokuyama Park, together with Kitayama Park adjacent to the south, offers an expansive satoyama landscape. Step into the bright multispecies woodlands on with moderately rolling terrain, an ideal walking environment. Higashiyamato Park was the first of the Sayama Hills parks to come under preservation by the metropolitan government. Its silent woodlands are an invitation to leisurely enjoyment of nature at its fullest. Noyamakita Rokudoyama Park covers the largest area of all the Metropolitan parks, and offers varied terrain, numerous volunteer opportunities, and rich satoyama scenery. Sayama Park, Hachikokuyama Park and Higashiyamato Park are introduced on the reverse side of this brochure. You are cordially invited to experience the special features of each of these green areas.

Higashiyamato Park retains the traditional Sayama Hills satoyama as an unchanged landscape. When plans for residential subdivisions were announced in the late 1960s, many area residents joined the local authorities in appealing to the metropolitan government for preservation measures. Their efforts resulted in the establishment of the first Sayama Hills park operated by the Tokyo government, in 1979. To take a few steps into the park is to enter fully into the natural satoyama, with clear birdsongs in the air and delicate hosta lilies and clethra blooming here and there along the paths.

The terrain and the human paths traversing it remain exactly as they were a few centuries ago, providing a vivid glimpse of the Edo-period satoyama.The name Hachikokuyama, literally "eight province mountain," originated because the mountains of eight former provinces are visible from the peak of the 89.4-meter mountain.
