Chausuyama Plateau

The Shibazakura Festival, "Tenku-no-Hanakairo Shibazakura-no-Oka", is held from mid-May to mid-June every year. Pretty shibazakura flowers bloom across over 20,000m2 of fields. The sight of colorful flowers covering vast fields under the bright blue sky with the Southern Alps still covered in some dazzling snow in the background is sure to leave a lasting impression. On certain dates when the festival is held, the fields are lit up during the night. Come and feast your eyes on the spectacular scenery that is so different from the daytime sights.

Chausuyama Plateau gets the earliest autumn foliage in Aichi Prefecture. It’s beautiful during both day and night, with a light-up event held during the night. Take a stroll on the path by the lake and feast your eyes on various types of maples in deep shades of red. During the Chausuyama Plateau Autumn Festival period, there is a gourmet event called the San-En-Nanshin Food Festival where you can try delicacies from Aichi Prefecture’s Mikawa region (including Toyone Village), Enshu (Shizuoka Prefecture), and Minami-Shinshu (Nagano Prefecture). There are also other events such as an "Imonikai" (Pot Potato Soup), where local taros are stewed till sizzling in a pot two meters in diameter.
