It's a wonderful place in Yokohama where the atmosphere of Satoyama remains. It's a great place to walk, but there's quite a bit of climbing, so depending on where you're going, it might be tough for some people.

This is a visit from Daimaruyama, the highest mountain in Yokohama City. As the name suggests, it's spacious and full of nature. The hiking course is also well maintained, but there were some areas that were impassable. I think it's perfect for bird watching and hiking.

I found this place by chance while driving. You can walk through the mountains, and each route has a name. I chose the ``Dandelion Path'' because I thought it would be easy, but it was quite a distance and some parts of the path were muddy from the rain the day before. The photo was taken at a place along the way, and it was a puddle that looked like a small pond. We finished the walk quickly due to the humid heat and mosquito attacks. On the second floor of ``Mori no Ie'' there is a restaurant ``kokko'' where you can eat, and we had delicious pizza baked in a wood oven. The restaurant's recommendation was a curry set with plenty of vegetables, but I didn't choose it because my appetite was in pizza mode. When I saw other people ordering curry sets and seeing them come out, I felt a little regretful that I should have ordered them there. The set also comes with a salad, but it was more filling than I expected. If I go there next time, I would like to get the curry set. If you bring your receipt to the front desk on the 1st floor, you will receive a parking discount.
