Oyama-machi is famous for its 1960s-70s 'Ippon Matsu' (One Pine Tree) rural revitalization movement — transforming Japan's poorest village through innovative agriculture and community organizing, becoming a global rural development model. The gathering spring in this pioneering community carries the plum blossom fragrance of early spring — the season of renewal and first blooms.
