A relaxing stroll in deep mountains: introduction to Yadoriki Water Conservation Forest やどりき水源林

The access to Yadoriki Forest is the easiest by car. From Tokyo or Yokohama, you simply leave Tomei Express Way at Ohi-Matsuda IC, and go to Route 246 to the direction of Tokyo. Approx. 20K from the IC, on the left, you’ll see 7/11 Convenience Store and Restaurant Mimi 三味 (that is famous for its beef dishes). Turn left at the corner of 7/11, which directs us into Prefectural Road #710. Go straight till the end and in front of you is Yadoriki Forest. Route 710 is also a commuter bus route for the Forest. When you use public transportation, get off Odakyu Odawara Line 小田急小田原線 at Shin-Matsuda Station 新松田駅, and leave from the north exit. From # 3 stop, take a commuter bus service for about half an hour by Fujikyu-Shonan Bus 富士急湘南バス (Time table, here). Route 710 is a bit of a surprise road. When we turn left at 7/11, the scenery from the car window suggests we are leaving behind human settlements … Then, we first meet with a huge construction site that is for the Daini Tomei Expressway (the Second Tomei) 第二東名 that is coming from Toyota City 豊田市 (Toyota-Higashi 豊田東 JCT) and currently reaching to Gotemba City 御殿場市 (Gotemba 御殿場 JCT) at the foot of Mt. Fuji. … No matter, the 710 road continues to run along the surface of the mountain. An entrance to Odawara Golf Club Matsuda Course appears on the right, and soon the way starts to descend. All of a sudden, a town appears below us along the Nakatsu-gawa River 中津川. It is Yadoriki community 寄. When I’ve first been there via Route 710, I was honestly surprised: I didn’t expect there was that large human district tucked in the deep mountains. The community gained its name in 1876 when 7 villages along Nakatsu-gawa River decided to merge together. Yadoriki 寄 in Japanese means “coming together to cooperate.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

#3 Bus Stop
in front of the north exit of Shin-Matsuda station

When we leave Shin-Matsuda station bldg.,
you turn left, and find a small stand
almost next to the railway track
which is a ticket booth for Fujikyu-Shonan Bus.
They sell return tickets between the station
and Yadoriki 寄 that can save 100 yen for adult.

For a while,
this is almost all for what you see
from the window after 7/11.

Then, suddenly, this.

We arrive at Yadoriki 寄 bus terminal stop either by car or by bus. When we use the commuter bus service, we walk from here along the road 710 and Nakatsu-gawa River for 2K until the parking lot of the Forest. When you drive, please drive carefully especially from here as there is no guardrail but occasional road blocks due to mini landslide with rocks tumbling down to the paved road. Having said that, this path is pretty present to walk. It’s going up one way, but surely is a good strolling experience in quiet and pure mountain air. In early March, the route is adorned by Kawazu-zakura (Cerasus lannesiana Carrière, 1872 ‘Kawazu-zakura’) whose flowers of bright pink have enthusiasts. This cherry blossom can last for about one month so that unlike Someiyoshino, whose peak could be less than a day, we can take it easy to enjoy the show. 😊 The riverbed has lots of Japanese knotweed and sorrell. Though they are public enemy #1 in the UK, they are one of the early spring delicacies for Japanese cuisine. (Recipes, here.) It seems to me locals are harvesting them regularly. The river runs fast, with very clear water. Warning: to fish here, you need license. Please check Matsuda Town Office, here. At the point where the road gets narrower there is an inn, Yadorogi Villa やどろぎ荘. We just keep on going in front of the inn, to meet on the left a camping site, Miroku Camp Field ミロクキャンプ場 (whose homepage is the same as Yadorogi Villa), and on the right an entrance of Mimawaribu Forest Road 三廻部林道 (permit-holders-only route). After half an hour of relaxed amble, we’ll be welcomed an impressive red of Yadoriki Oh-hashi Bridge 寄大橋. You can park your car at the foot of this bridge. We are now at the entrance of Yadorki Forest. Oh, by the way, the river changes its name from Nakatsu-gawa River to Yadoriki Stream 寄沢 at Yadoriki Oh-hashi Bridge. So, I call it Yadoriki Stream from here.

Yadoriki terminal bus stop.
Here, if you eat something in the restaurant
which we can see on the right in the photo,
it’s OK to use their toilet.
Otherwise, just start walking to Yadoriki Forest
and within 5 min. or so,
there is a public facility on the right.

Standing back to the bus stop,
turn right to Nakatsu-gawa River is
the road to Yadoriki Forest.
The ridge over there, in the bottom of this photo,
continues to the peak of Mt. Nabewari 鍋割山 (1272m ASL).
On the left of this route is Nakatsu-gawa River,
and on the right is adorned by
pink flowers of Kawazu-zakura every March.
Alternatively, turning left at the bus stop is
one of the safer routes to Mt. Nabewari
via Omote-Tanzawa Kanagawa Citizen Forest 表丹沢県民の森.

Here is the public toilet.

 Pastoral …

Nakatsu-gawa River along Route 710.
Jolly gargling of stream is really refreshing!
The river is important resource for agri-business of the area.
Please do not change the flow by building stone dams for fun.

The entrance of Miroku Camp Field is decorated with
wooden sculptures of animals we can find in the area.
Please remember the figure of deer is prominent here.

To the right is permit-holders-only route of
Mimawaribu Forest Road.

After the junction with Mimawaribu Forest Road,
we can find lots of Corydalis pallida var. tenuis along the road side.
During March-May, they show pretty yellow flowers,
but … they are poisonous.
This plant loves mountainous soil prone to collapse.
Oh, so typical for Yadoriki …

Over there is Yadoriki Oh-hashi Bridge.

The end of Road 710, i.e.,
the beginning of Yadoriki Water Conservation Forest. You can park your car
where the yellow arrow suggests in the photo.
We can see the gate of the Forest over there.

Kanagawa Prefecture takes care of Yadoriki Water Conservation Forest やどりき水源林, and often Kanagawa Forest Instructors help the Office in actual management activities, like thinning conifers and weeding the undergrowth. The Instructors helped the donners for Forests of Growing to plant their seedlings in Yadoriki. They arrange fun activities for anybody coming to the Forest, such as concerts and napping events in hammocks (; for FY2017, the schedule is here). The most regular activity by the Instructors is weekend walks. When you come to the gate of the Forest at 10:00 or 13:00 every Saturday and Sunday (except for December - February), your Forest Instructor is ready to guide you. The Forest has 3 excursion routes: Route A, B, and Forest-Road. Route B and semi-paved Forest-Road routes are on the east side of Yadoriki Stream. Route A is on the west. Yadoriki Stream has very fast flow going down a steep valley especially near the entrance to the trekking road to Mt. Nabewari. It makes having lasting structure very expensive. i.e. there is no permanent bridge to cross the river after Yadoriki Oh-hashi Bridge. (Caution: when you read the map for Yadoriki Forest. It looks like there is a permanent bridge.) If you walk with the Instructors, Routes A and Forest-Road can be combined by crossing Yadoriki Stream with a mobile bridge the Instructors provide. That could be a bonus!

When you enter from the gate of Yadoriki Forest,
ahead of you is the management cottage of the Forest.
It is open when Instructors are there.

The outside shelf of the cottage provides
free maps and other info for the visitors.
The place also has a form of mountaineering registration
with a drop box.
In case you plan to go up to Mt. Nabewari (鍋割山 1272m ASL),
Mt. Ameyama (雨山 1176m ASL),
and/or Mt. Hinokidakka (檜岳 1167m ASL),
it is highly advisable to leave your note here.
As I tell you last week,
this is the gateway to the routes many died with crumbling rocks.
The prefectural police strongly recommends
to take this route only for very well experienced group of people.

In front of the cottage,
a notice board is telling us any news in the Forest.

About 200m from the management cottage,
there are public toilets, soaps provided.
Would you please switch off the light after your use?
And please carry back used sanitary products.
(Flushing toilet papers is OK.)
Thank you.

50m or so up from the toilet, there is a meeting cottage
(with another toilets; open only for events).
Only when you join the tour by the Forest Instructors,
you can park your car here.

Less than 1K semi-paved Forest Road Route starts from the gate of Yadoriki Forest and ends at the entrance to the way to Mt. Nabewari, which is the other side of the end of Route A across the Yadoriki Stream. It includes a part of Route B till the meeting cottage. From the meeting cottage, the slope of the Forest Road is getting steeper, and lasts as such till the end. On the left, down there is the Yadoriki Stream. During winter and early spring when the leaves of deciduous trees don’t exist, we can see Takigoh Fall 滝郷ノ瀧 across the Stream from the point near the meeting cottage. (Photos taken by an expert mountaineer can be seen here.) At the foot of Takigoh Fall which is a double fall of 15m high, there is a memorial for a guy who died several years ago. We cannot approach there from the Forest Road as there is no bridge to cross Yadoriki Stream now. A legend says if you visit around this point of Yadoriki Forest during night, ghosts of hikers welcome you for cursing. 😖 Horror stories aside, the scenery of along the Forest Road Route is frankly pleasant. Birds, including Asian stubtail and Daurian redstart, are happily singing with the back chorus of bubbling from the stream. The riverbed is occupied by Alnus sieboldiana that is a pioneer plant for colluvium. On the right of the route shows why this plant is thriving down there … Very steep slope is here and there collapsing. Actually, the place is popular among geologists to explain the soil of Tanzawa for beginners. At the end of the Route, there is a notice board saying from there is a trekking road to mountain peaks only for experts. It’s the terrain of Asian black bears. Let’s go to Route A and B, then.

We can see a bit of Takigoh Fall here.

On the Forest Road Route,
we will be greeted by this fine specimen of pillow lava
created at the bottom of Pacific Ocean
some 1.7 billion years ago.
It’s here now because of plate tectonics.

And so, the land is collapsing …
have you noticed the layer of granite is not horizontal?
It’s also the result of crush between
the Eurasian and Philippine plates.

Near the end of the Forest Road Route,
there is a colony of Euptelea polyandra hich is an endemic species of Japan.
This photo was supposed to be for the full-bloom
of their brownish-pink peculiar flowers in March …
Theirs are very understating flowers …

Be aware of bears!

Slow-motion Impressionist: Forest of Growing and Yadoriki Water Conservation Forest やどりき水源林

Kanagawa Prefecture has a project called the “Forest of Growing 成長の森.” Starting every April, Kanagawa Green Trust solicits 3000 yen donation from families of a kid aged less than 20 years old. Families don’t have to live in Kanagawa Prefecture. (If you consider the donation, credit cards welcome, please click here for more info.) The Trust then pools the money to procure seedlings for afforestation, and organizes an event next March in a forest owned by the prefecture where the donors can spend a fun weekend of planting the seedlings. A public land for the Forest of Growing is always in Okuyama 奥山. “Oku” in Japanese means “somewhere beyond the familiar environment.” Thrilling! The afforested place is called such as “2007 Forest of Growing,” and the prefectural government manages it as a part of the “50 Year Plan for Regenerating Forests of Kanagawa Prefecture かながわ森林再生50年構想.” (More to this policy in my later post.) The prefecture also prepares a name plate of the kid if a family wants to commemorate their afforestation at the site, i.e., they can choose anonymous. The families can visit the place whenever they like, and the Trust arranges roughly twice a year events for the donor families directly to take care of the place, such as weeding. Basically, the prefectural government guarantees the families that the Office looks after their trees for a long, very long, term. Since 2013 the event is held in the 21^st Century Forest 21世紀の森 where the afforestation site has easier access by car. The families for the 21^st Century Forest are planting no-pollen cedars produced in Dr. Hidetsugu Saitoh’s labo in Kanagawa Nature Conservation Center 神奈川県自然環境保全センター. As a part of prefectural industrial policy, the forest with vehicle approach is for forestry so that the planted trees are planned to be the subject of regular thinning for market. The final few are expected to create a forest of gigantic cedars that can count 500 years or more for their life. In effect, Kanagawa Prefecture declares that they are ready to commit that much time for the site in the 21^st Century Forest. Wow …

The cedar tree at the entrance of Yadoriki Shrine,
near Yadoriki Forest.
It is estimated to be at least 500 years old
with approx. 6m circumference and 33m tall.
It’s designated as one of the best 100 trees of Kanagawa.

The class of FY2007 was the first for the Forest of Growing, and FY2017 is its 11^th. The first site for the project was Yadoriki Water Conservation Forest やどりき水源林 that became full in 2012. The chosen places in Yadoriki Forest are a bit different from the current site: they are not at all vehicle friendly. Yadoriki Forest was once a property of Tokugawa Shogunate. At the time of Meiji Restoration, a private corporation, Morimura-gumi Co., legally established the ownership there, and started forestry business. Morimura-gumi later became Morimura Brothers Inc. to create Noritake Co., Toto, and NGK, but withdrew from forestry altogether in 2000. Since then, Yadoriki Forest is a public land of Kanagawa Prefecture, as a water conservation forest. Due to this historical background, the area was once completely artificial forest of cedars and cypresses for commercial purposes. However, the place is not easy for forestry. It has a typical soil structure of very steep Tanzawa mountains with Yadoriki Stream 寄沢 that is the source of Sakawa River 酒匂川 running to the City of Odawara 小田原市. The place is famous for landslide.

The cedars in Yadoriki Forest, roughly 60 years of age

The mountains in Kanagawa Prefecture are created 500-400 million years ago when the volcanic islands, such as the former apparition of Izu Peninsula 伊豆半島, in Pacific Ocean crushed with Honshu Island as Eurasian and Philippines Plates creaked each other. When the plate tectonic incidence occurred, the magma flushed out from the deep and extremely rapidly cooled to be granites (a-hem, rapidly for the planet, that is; it is estimated within 200 million years after the crush). It makes the ground below the thin top soil, made of ashes from Mt. Fuji, brittle and very prone to landslide, especially where sheer slopes divided by lots of small streams are covered by artificial forest, like Yadoriki Forest. Be that as it may the Great Kanto Earthquake, or regular flush floods by typhoons, the place suffered a lot. After every disaster Morimura-gumi replanted the trees, but in the end they gave up. Yodoriki Forest was once a popular gateway to climb Mt. Nabewari (鍋割山 1272m ASL), Mt. Ameyama (雨山 1176m ASL), and Mt.Hinokidakka (檜岳 1167m ASL) via gorge scrambling. It was an entrance to exciting adventure, but the crumbly route higher up along the stream claimed lots of sliding down to death. Now, the river side has several memorials which mourn the lost souls including a high school girl and her teacher who tried to save her in 1970 … The route is for well-seasoned veterans of Tanzawa. Yadoriki Forest is a quiet place.

Before reaching to the entrance of Yadoriki Forest,
we meet several points
where the meshed protection for the forestry road
has collapsed due to a mini landslide, like this.
The ground is naturally fragile.

Rather than to struggle for commercial viability in a hostile territory, the designers of the Yadoriki Forest at the Pref. Government decided to re-create more natural habitat to stabilize the ground. The place is an example for prefectural policy Dr. Jun Tamura of Kanagawa Natural Environment Conservation Center mentioned last year during the Forest Instructor Training. First, the prefecture thinned the once-commercial forest to let the sunshine reach to the ground for more undergrowth that can prevent soil erosion. The Office also cleared completely here and there the slopes and organized the “Forest of Growing” events for planting seedlings of broad-leaved trees, instead of conifers. In order to secure the biodiversity in DNA, the plantlets were from the seeds procured from nearby mountain forests of Tanzawa whose elevation is similar to Yadoriki Forest (500-600m ASL). They are Zelkova serrata, Magnolia obovate, Acer palmatum, Cerasus jamasakura, Quercus acutissima, Cercidiphyllum japonicum, and Cornus kousa. Together with cedars and cypresses planted by Morimura Bro. Inc., they are to show mosaic pattern at tree canopy, and at the bottom to have soil conservation function which is a foundation for biodiversity, water source protection, and greenhouse gas absorption. In April 2017, they have already started to show a beautiful mosaic pattern over the mountain surface. The color of the entire Yadoriki Forest looks like a masterpiece of Impressionist paintings. Ever subtle gradation of greens covers the entire slope elegantly. With jolly chatters of wild birds and rapid flow of Yadoriki Stream, the place is a hidden gem …   Well, you may think for mandarins it’s an easier task than repeating commercial afforestation. They just gave a small help for the nature to restore their unaffected face after heavy human interventions, didn’t they? Wishful thinking. To see why, let’s dive in Yadoriki Forest.

The slope of Yadoriki Forest is so gorgeous tableau
in late April with fresh spring greens.
The ridge is one of the (safer) routes to the peak of Mt. Nabewari.
Oh, by the way, this is a photo of more established site.
The site for Forest of Growing will be reported next week.
Stay tuned!

Art in the Forest 2017: Preview for the Laboratory of the Forest 2017 森ラボ 2017

Sorry, a slight change in my posting. Next week, I start to tell you about Yadoriki Forest やどりき水源林, which I promised to post today. Instead, this week is about 2017 Laboratory of the Forest. In 2017, the forest for annual Art Exhibition in the Forest of Yokohama is a part of the place for the 2017 National Urban Greenery Fair 全国都市緑化フェア, next to Yokohama Zoorasia. On the other hand, the GROUP the Creation and Voice of the Woods 創造と森の声 that organizes the exhibition has celebrated their 20^th anniversary. They announced the art event this year has completely different program. The Group does not have 2017 exhibition as they have had regularly, but two categories of weekend activities. One is the workshops during July-September where the visitors to the forest can work with the artists to create art by themselves. By coming October, the forest will have all the installations created during the workshops, which is the 2017 Art Exhibition in the Forest of Yokohama. Another is forest management activities including vegetation survey. The first project of theirs have already completed last month as a part of the 2017 National Urban Greenery Fair. This week, I report you their May event and tell you their schedule from June. If you plan to join any of these activities, please make a contact with the GROUP the Creation and Voice of the Woods. RSVP. (Phone/FAX: 045-933-1460, Mobile: 090-9137-3329, Email: morinokoe7@yahoo.co.jp. Their Facebook is here). They, as always, solicit donations to be a supporter of their activities. If you give annual contribution of 3000 yen, they will send you 3 newsletters per year, and information for the members-only events.

Their first project for 2017 was held on May 13, 14, 20 and 21 in the venue for National Urban Greenery Fair. It’s titled “Dance, Dance, Dance,” with Kazuo Ishiguro 石黒和夫. The participants of the workshop created figures of dancing people using the materials found in the forest. It seems to me, not only the completed installations but also their activity drew a lot of attention from visitors of nice shoes more common in shopping centers, not in a forest. “Oh, look, what are they doing?” “Daddy, they are making dolls with twigs!” “Wow, this is really interesting …” For city dwellers without regular contact with nature, the art creation in the forest must have been an eye-opener. I too think their whimsical dancing figures are very animating and humorous … One weakness. The workshop was held along a wide promenade where lots of visitors are coming and going. The activity looked like a tableau in front of a crowd, just like in a standard museum. One of the charms of the Group was encountering their creation in a thick forest by surprise. I could not feel such an excitement as we could have in their regular exhibition … OK, the Greenery Fair is for those who do not know forest well. My impression is out of the context. Suggesting the way to enjoy the nature for complete novices must have an educational value. I hope “Dance, Dance, Dance” has expanded the number of the supporters for the Group. After June 3^rd, all of their installations in the venue for National Urban Greenery Fair will be moved the neighboring forest that is the same place of the last year’s exhibition. They will stay there until winter this year ... They could be more vibrant in their forest than in the Fair.

This is cute.

On May 27 and 28
they collaborated with Midori Ward of the City
 to exhibit their previous activities,
including a fun event of “hand-sawing a log.”

After the Greenery Fair, they return to their regular venue of the last 2 years. June and from October to the next spring is for forest management activities. July-September is for art workshops which are

Project 5: Sleeping in the Forest, August 19 and September 2, 10:00-15:00

With Noriaki Oka 岡典明

“Let us create a wooden deck in the forest for us to throw ourselves down. Together, we see the sky through the tree canopy, and feel the wind in the forest.

You can join whichever date you like for this event. No problem to participate all 2 days.

Project 6: Cathedral of the Forest, September 10, 10:00-15:00

All artists

“Let us weave the tree branches to create a huge cathedral, and decorate it with ‘stained glasses.’”

The most frequent transportation services to the forest of the Group from June is to ride a bus either from JR Nakayama 中山 station or Sotetsu Tsurugamine 鶴ヶ峰 Station. There are the routes Asahi 11 and 15 both of which connect two stations. (From Nakayama, the time table is here. From Tsurugamine, the table is here.)  If you take a bus from Nakayama, get off the bus at Kohdan-Shukaijoh-mae 公団集会場前. If you turn right from the bus stop, beyond the traffic light, you’ll find a building looks like an old school. It is now-defunct Hikarigaoka Elementary School ひかりが丘小学校 (as this Hikarigaoka Housing Complex becomes the town of elderly people with very few kids). If you ride a bus from Tsurugamine for Nishi-Hikarigaoka 西ひかりが丘, it actually takes you in front of this building at the bus stop, called Nishi-Hikarigaoka, the final stop. In any case, first you walk a bit to the direction of Hikarigaoka Elementary and turn left at the first corner from the Nishi-Hikarigaoka bus stop. Go straight. Eventually you enter a small, paved and steeply climbing-up road between the forest on the right and a retirement housing complex, Care Home Yokohama and Villa Yokohama, on the left. Pass the top of the hill seeing a downing slope on the left between the Care Home and Villa. At this point on the edge of the forest, there is a big banner saying “創造と森の声.” From there, keep on going 10m or so along the forest, and on the right we see the entrance for the workshop. Another bus route we can use is the bus to Zoorasia. Use Asahi 9 and 10 to Zoorasia of Sotetsu from Yokohama (time table, here) or from Tsurugamine (time tables, here and here) Stations. Sotetsu Bus has started a service from Mitsukyo Station with Asahi 33 and 34 (time table, here). There also is City Bus service Route 136 to Zoorasia from JR Nakayama Station (time table, here). Get off the bus at Yokohama Zoorasia, and proceed further along for about 400 m to the direction of #2 Parking of the Zoo. On the right, there will be a small gate with the sign GROUP the Creation and Voice of the Woods. If you visit the place during weekends, many Asahi 10, 33, 34, and Route 136 buses will take us to the North Gate of Zoorasia (terminal stop) that is the closest to the workshop entrance. When you leave the terminal stop of Zoorasia North Gate, go back a bit along the bus road, and on the left there is the sign for the GROUP.
