Sojinkan Sugimura worked as a journalist for Tokyo Asahi Newspaper Company from the late Meiji period to the early Showa period. He owned a villa which had a fine view of Lake Teganuma in Abiko city, Chiba Prefecture in 1912. He and his family moved there in 1924, and he lived there to the end of his life. From the Taisho period to the Showa period, he tackled some activities for the preserving of the landscape around Lake Teganuma. The aim of this study is to analyze his positions and opinions in some of these activities. First, by watching and thinking of the landscape around Lake Teganuma as a man who had moved to Abiko from Tokyo, he found worth as a Tokyo suburb in that landscape. Second, when a reclamation project was planed in Lake Teganuma, he had the foresight to argue that the landscape was worthy of preserving without carrying out reclamation. Third, he argued that we should try to preserve the landscape by developing an area around Lake Teganuma as a suburban residential area and sightseeing spot by turning the landscape to good account. Forth, part of his opinion about preserving the landscape is the same as the opinion of Seiroku Honda about natural landscape. Fifth, he worked on some activities for preserving the landscape with some people who owned a villa in Abiko city. He led the activities, and played an important role as the inspiration. Sixth, their opinion about preserving the landscape was contrary to the opinion of the local residents. Seventh, at first, he worked on some activities for preserving the landscape with villa residents, but gradually he tried to communicate with people in local important posts and local residents by starting some activities together.
