Higashimatsuyama Shimin no Mori

For forest bathing and avoiding Covid!

Higashimatsuyama Shimin no Mori is a "citizen's forest". An area maintained in its natural state except for purpose built walkways. Apart from the walkways, these type of places have nothing to offer except nature. The Higashimatsuyama Shimin No Mori is at the top of a hill in the Iwadono area of Higashimatsuyama. Its car park is shared with Monomiyama park. The forest is an ideal place to practice self isolation and for the healing vibes of forest bathing. However, please note that because of the natural setting, in summer there are snakes and some nasty creatures. And in winter there are occasionally wild boar. Parking is free, but the car park is currently closed during the Coronavirus outbreak. It is supposed to open again on June 1st. There is nothing in the car park. If you need a toilet or vending machine you can find both across the road from the car park in Monomiyama Park.
