We investigated the features of the forests surrounding the dispersed houses, known as Igune, in the central region of the Sendai plains, in order to conserve their landscape. By conducting a tree census involving land around 19 houses, we identified more than 70 tree species; the Japanese cedar dominated these, though many secondary woodland species were also found. However, the forest area in the region decreased by 56% during 35years from 1975 to 2011. Although forest-floor management has ceased for half of investigated houses, activities such as positive training of wild grass, collection of firewood materials, etc., were confirmed. The forests have also become areas of faith, with small shrines and monuments located within them. Furthermore, the forests are an important habitat for the raccoon dog, because their storage feces are only usually found in farmland areas. On the other hand, in addition to the decrease in woodland areas due to diseases resulting in death, as well as damage from salt water arising from tsunamis, further reductions to the forests have been noted, particularly near coastal areas. The forest landscape in these regions has been affected by human activities for hundreds of years, and it is thought that this has significantly shaped the cultural landscape.
