Since its opening in 1995, the Sagamihara City Museum has been a beloved community institution serving as a comprehensive museum dedicated to the history and nature of Sagamihara City. By 2024, its total number of visitors topped 3.5 million. Through its collaboration with the adjacent JAXA Sagamihara Campus, the museum has hosted a number of world-first exhibitions, including the return capsule of asteroid probe "Hayabusa" in July 2010 and "Hayabusa 2" in March 2021. Futhermore, the July 2025 reopening unveiled the renovated planetarium, offering the world's first experience of viewing one billion stars simultaneously, in 8K video.

The area came to be known as Kanuma as the area was covered with a reed-filled swamp in days past. It is said that the footsteps of the legendary giant Deirabotchi turned the area into a swamp. Today it is a place for relaxation, with many carp and ducks inhabiting the area.

Nestled within the Sagami Yokoyama/Sagami River Suburban Greenbelt Special Preservation Area and the Greater Tokyo Suburban Greenbelt Preservation area, this scenic park boasts spectaclar natural scenery. It serves as a green space for conservation and a place of relaxation for local citizens. In an effort to preserve the natural environment of the Yokohama Hills and the source of the Michihoshi River as an urban green space, it serves as a place for interaction with nature where water and greenery meet. Visitors can observe wild birds and plants up close, deepening their understanding of nature. The park is also utilized as a venue for environmental education and outdoor learning.

Visitors can enjoy the changes in nature from season to season. There are well-maintained walking paths and grassy plazas, so both children and the elderly can enjoy forest walks to the fullest. Furthermore, the KIMOREBI NO FOREST has been selected as one of the 50 most beautiful forests in Kanagawa. Photo courtesy of Sagamihara Tourist Association
