There is large stock of copse woods which occupies about 2 hundreds ares

in the area of Akasaka in Sayama City, Saitama Pref.

Late in autumn, the Chichibu mountains can be seen in the distance through

the deciduous oaks over the village of Horigane. A relic of well so called

" The Well of Horigane" as introduce by "Seisho Nagon" in her famous essay

"Makurano Soushi" written more than thousand years ago in the age of

Heian Period is located in the Shrine of Horigane over there.

Oak leaves remaining in the branches glows like gold leaves irradiated by

the sun staying in the autumn sky making accoustic sound of whistle

dried by cold wind blowing down from Chichibu.
