    This natural park is spread across the solitary mountain (rare in Chichibu) of Mt. Minoyama, at a height of 586 meters. It features roughly 8,000 cherry trees in 70 varieties (mostly Yoshino cherries), as well as number of other flowering plants, like rhododendrons and hydrangeas, making for a colorful display in spring and summer. Famous for its night view and even selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Night Views, the outlook point on the peak offers a gorgeous view of Chichibu Basin and Okuchichibu Mountains. A sea of clouds shows up in early morning, and sometimes stick around to create the mysterious night view. There are no exterior lights, so you will need portable lighting if you come to the park at night.

    山の斜面に植えたムクゲを観賞できます。訪問したときはピークを過ぎており疎らに咲いていた感じでしたが、8月のシーズン中は満開を楽し婿とができます。

Eclipsed by neighboring Tokyo, Saitama is often branded as the sleepy suburbs. However, look a little deeper and you’ll uncover quaint towns bursting with history and crafts from the kurazukuri Edo-period clay houses of Kawagoe to the ancient tree-enveloped temples of Chichibu.
