◆ Mato Park This park was landscaped as a memorial project for the throne of Emperor Taisho, and has a pond, Nakajima, cherry blossoms, plums, ayame, and azaleas in the background of Matoyama, showing a beautiful appearance throughout the four seasons. Especially in the season when 2,000 cherry blossoms are in full bloom, many tourists visit as one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in the prefecture, and in 1990, it was certified as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots in Japan". Seasonal events such as the "Sakura Festival" and "Taraikogi Championship" are also held. In the park, the "Apple Song Monument" is named after the movie "Soyokaze", which was shot for the first time after the war, which greatly contributed to the spread of apples and their image enhancement by the hit of "Apple Song" sung by Michiko Namiki. There is a "Michiko Namiki Honoring Monument". ◆ Matoyama A mountain that has long been a symbol of the town. There is an entrance to Mato Park, and it is a satoyama with an altitude of 391 meters, a round trip distance of 4 km, and an hour to climb. There is "Sankichi Shrine" in the open place in front of the mountaintop, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Mt. Chokai, Dewa Fuji, and the town of Masuda and Jumonji below.
You can choose from the following two walking courses according to your convenience and physical fitness.・ Round trip to the summit of Matoyama (2 to 3 hours) This is an easy course to enter Matoyama and make a round trip to the summit after walking around the park from the large parking lot of Mato Park.・ Tour course (3-4 hours) This tour course is recommended for those who are not satisfied with the round trip to the summit of Matoyama.
