About
When you pass through the quiet residential area of Takatsu Ward in Kawasaki City, you will find the lush “Tachibana Fureai no Mori” spreading out before you. This forest is cherished as a precious place where people can interact with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
As you enter the forest, you are greeted by seasonal landscapes. In spring, fresh green leaves sprout; in summer, the trees are thick with foliage, creating cool, shady spots. In autumn, the forest is colored by the changing leaves, and in winter, the bare trees bring a sense of tranquility.
As you walk along the trails, a small stream flows by, and the sound of the babbling water soothes the heart. Genji fireflies inhabit this stream, and on early summer nights, you can enjoy their magical dance of lights. Many wild birds also visit the forest, and you can see people enjoying birdwatching.
There are acorn trees scattered throughout the forest, and in autumn, you can see children enjoying collecting acorns. Local NPO groups regularly maintain the area, removing weeds and invasive plants to preserve the rich natural environment. When visiting, please wear comfortable clothes and enjoy your walk with a mind to cherish nature.
“Tachibana Fureai no Mori” is a precious place where you can interact with nature even though it is in an urban area. Why not forget the noise of everyday life and feel the breath of nature in this forest, where you can refresh both body and mind?
