Sometimes it is called 関東の高野山 The Koyasan of the Kanto Area.

- quote
王禅寺ふるさと公園 Ozenji Furusato Park
Ozenji Furusato Park was developed with themes of "Nature" and "Water" —
thanks to the abundant nature to be found in the Tama Hills area.
Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from some parts, as well as tree-lined trails great for walks.
