Tomeyama is a mountain where logging was "stopped" (tome) since the Edo period to secure water sources. Here, you can enjoy trekking through a natural broadleaf forest primarily composed of beech trees. The walking trails are well-maintained, making it an easy forest to explore. To enter the mountain, the accompaniment of a local "Happō Town Certified Guide" is required to prevent environmental degradation. Listening to the guide's explanations will undoubtedly provide a deep understanding of the plants, trees, and the history of how this forest has been preserved.
