Aichi Prefectural Forest Park (愛知県森林公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This vast prefectural park in Owariasahi City is a nature-rich place where coppice woodland and ponds spread out. The paths continuing beneath the groves are shielded from the sun, which is welcome because they are easy to walk even in the hot season. Around the ponds you can look for dragonflies and fish, so for children the walking itself becomes an expedition. The park has a botanical garden where you can see the seasonal flowers and trees all in one place. Shiroyama Park (城山公園) is close by, so a morning stroll and afternoon water play connect without strain.

Tips

Admission arrangements may differ between the park grounds and the botanical garden, so please check fees and opening hours on the official website in advance. There are dirt paths and slopes, so shoes that are easier to walk in are safer than sandals. There are seasons with many mosquitoes and insects, so bringing insect repellent makes for a more comfortable walk.

Best time to visit

About 1.5 hours. The morning, with plenty of tree shade, is an especially easy time to walk
