Bijinbayashi Forest
Bijinbayashi is a beech forest about 100 years old, located in Matsunoyama, Tokamachi City. It was cut down for charcoal production at the end of the Taisho era, but the beech trees sprouted all at once the following spring and grew to be so beautiful that it came to be known as "Bijinbayashi," or "Beautiful Forest." Spanning 3 hectares of hilly terrain, it is also home to many wild birds. Each season offers beautiful scenery: in spring, young leaves sprout from the remaining snow; in summer, a cool breeze sweeps through; in autumn, the leaves turn vibrant colors; and in winter, it transforms into a silver world. With a well-maintained parking area, visitors can stroll through and be healed by the beauty of nature.
