Kochi Takaoka-gun Tsunocho Shiraishiko 3112-2

A park with 20 windmills. With a lookout area, windmill area, and woodland used for forest bathing, the windmills you can see up close and the great views from the lookouts are especially popular. On clear days, you can see Mt. Ishizuchi and Cape Muroto. With displays on wind power generation and windmill design, it is a nice place to learn about windmills and electric power while in the midst of nature.

凄い数の風車、それも巨大なものが林立していました。しかも周囲の眺望も最高でした。風車は羽の直系が６１ｍ・・・信じられない・・・。風車を支える支柱、タワーの高さも６８ｍ・・・この風車が２０基もある、壮観ですねぇ。カルスト平原の中の遊歩道、森林浴等々・・・間地かで見る風車の迫力には圧倒されました。好天で石鎚山まで眺めることが出来た。但し、ここは平地じゃないのでそれなりの覚悟(かなりしんどい)をして行く...
