The entire view of the Murayama Basin can be seen from the space between Buildings E and F. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but the night view from here is excellent.

(5) Trail
The park has an approximately 8 km-long promenade which runs through the woods full of plants in their natural habitat, and it is also great for hiking. Moreover, 43 species of approximately 23,000 trees have been planted, and these along with various flowers that bloom in each season, are a joy to see. Fill up your chest with the fresh clean air and enjoy.
▲Adorable flowers of himesayuri
(6) Himesayuri (Princess little lily)
This is an invaluable flower of the lily family which can only be found in the three southern prefectures of the Tohoku region, Miyagi, Yamagata, and Fukushima, as well as in a part of Niigata Prefecture. The elegant pale pink appearance has earned another alias of otomeyuri, or “maiden lily.” From late May to early June every year, the Oyama Natural Park Lily Festival is held at the park where many himesayuri grow. The planting of bulbs was started in 1998 in an attempt to recover the field of himesayuri throughout the Oyama area, where the flower used to grow naturally. Today, approximately 60,000 flowers of himesayuri bloom along the trail in the park and by the cottages.
