Forest

Shady spot with cafes and model garden design

Under the Tsukuba Express line at Nagareyama Ootaka no Mori Station is a charming "green path", a short but densely landscaped walk inspired by British footbaths. The showpiece is Forest, a horticulture shop in a greenhouse. You can take a break at a coffee shop, a terrace with seating, and benches along the footpath. The path includes a tiny micro garden featuring stone, water, and plantings. It's a calming spot away from the bustling shopping center.
