- Nigata Pref. Myoukoushi Suginosawa
- This highland sits at 1,300 meters above sea level at the foot of Mt. Myoko, chosen as one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. It is 40 minutes by car from the Myoko Kogen Interchange and is well known for its beautiful autumn colors. Scattered with giant Japanese elms it gives the impression of a European plain and the walking paths, fields, and camp grounds are filled with seasonal flowers. From spring to fall crowds of people come to enjoy mountain climbing and trekking. The Sasagamine Loop Trail is a recommended walking course that takes about one hour to complete and will let you enjoy the verdant greens of spring or changing fall leaves. It loops around the ranch, Udana spring, Shimizugaike pond, and a German spruce forest.
