With the theme of Matsunoyama’s “Bijinbayashi” beech forests, visitors will learn about the background of the seasonal beauty of the beech forests from the perspective of life in the satoyama and the ecology of beech trees in snow country. Visitors can learn and enjoy the charms of the “Bijinbayashi” from many angles, including a VR experience that allows visitors to take a simulated walk through the “Bijinbayashi” in winter, and aerial drone footage of the “Bijinbayashi” in each of the four seasons. This is an encore exhibition of the Fall/Winter Special Exhibition of 2009. During the snowy season, we also recommend taking a walk in the “Bijinbayashi” with snowshoes.
