Saku-Hirayama Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saku City, Nagano Prefecture; President: Susumu Washio) has carried out large-scale grass cutting and environmental maintenance work along the "Hirayama hiking trails" and beneath the "Summer Lift" at the “Parada” Highway Oasis in preparation for the full arrival of the green season.
■ Background and Purpose: Delivering the Best Scenery and Comfort to Visitors
With the refreshing blue skies of early summer overhead, the entire staff worked together to maintain the facility, ensuring visitors can walk more safely and comfortably while fully enjoying Parada’s unique, dynamic scenery.
The areas maintained include the surroundings of the Hirayama hiking trails (such as the Path of Patience, Akamatsu Path, and Waterside Path) and the area beneath the Summer Lift, which leads to the mountain summit.
■ Highlights: Parada’s Refreshed Early Summer Appeal
Unobstructed Panoramic Views of Mount Asama and the Saku Plain
By neatly clearing the vegetation beneath the Summer Lift, the views from the lift have dramatically opened up. Visitors can now enjoy a more expansive and refreshing "aerial walk," taking in the lush greenery below, the majestic Mount Asama, and the contrasting cityscape of the Saku Plain with greater openness than ever before.
Beautifully Maintained Trails Accessible to All
Careful grass cutting around sun-dappled paths and stairways has improved visibility underfoot, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for hiking and walking suitable for everyone—from young children and seniors to pet owners.
Panoramic Views of the Saku Plain
