Further, soft windflower, the official flower of Itabashi Ward, grows naturally in a forest that covers these hills (the Daimon area of Akatsuka Park). This is the largest area of wild soft windflower growth in Tokyo. They grow over an area as large as 20 meters deep and 200 meters east and west.[1]
