In this study, as an example of a walking trail located in the suburbs of a large city, we took up a walking trail around Mt. Tenranzan, Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture, which has confronted the wave of green conservation and urban development. While clarifying the transition of the concept or plan regarding park and green space and residential land development related to the trail, we analyze how its existence has influenced the improvement, development and preservation for the spatial character of this area. Here in Hanno City, a "standard course" was set up and maintained as part of the development as a tourist destination in the prewar period, and not only was it inherited as it was, but also the network of the walking trails has been strengthened to emphasize the spatial structure of “four mountains and one river”. Furthermore, it can be inferred that it has also functioned as a deterrent to such plans as a housing development that may sometimes deteriorate or reduce its natural environment.
