The town of Atsuma is full of green with woodlands covering seventy percent of the town area. There is beautiful rural scenery all throughout the town with the Atsuma River flowing through the center. Trees will be planted at sites where leisure facilities used to exist upstream the Atsuma River, which has significantly lost its groundwater recharging capabilities, in order to restore the functions that the woodlands originally possessed and stably secure water resources, which are crucial for the key industry of farming, and particularly rice cultivation.
