    Gifu Kani-gun Mitakecho Naka 2777-1
    A forest park located about a 20-minute drive from the Kani Mitake Interchange on the Tokai-Kanjo Expressway. Its roughly 70-hectare recreational area is surrounded by seasonal flowers and greenery. In spring, azaleas and the blossoms of mountain cherry trees color the forest a light shade of red. In summer, bamboo lilies and Japanese irises burst into bloom, and in the fall the forest seems to burn with the hues of the foliage. Winter brings a crystalline snowy landscape. You can enjoy walks there throughout the year. Another highlight is the view from the lookout that includes Mt. Kinpu, Mt. Ena, and Mt. Ibuki.
