Haibara (榛原)

The natural landscapes of Haibara ( mountains, forests, rice fields ) are of incredible beauty. Notice to hiking enthusiasts, Haibara is for you! Among the many hiking trails in the area is the ascent of Mount Torimiyama . From its summit, in a park of the same name, the view of the city and the dense forest is simply fantastic. The park where thousands of azaleas bloom in early summer is conducive to rest and relaxation. The small temple in the middle of the pond accentuates the picturesque charm of the place.
