Kirara no Mori

Place famous for fall foliage or new greenery

This is a virgin forest located next to the Dando Lake in Shitara Town, Kitashitara County, Aichi Prefecture. In this forest, the largest in Aichi, are over 200-year-old flourishing beech trees. On the walking paths, including the Tokai Nature Trail, wind through the forest allowing visitors to see many wild birds, marsh plants, while enveloped in a bath of green. The attraction of this forest is that provides a beautiful spot for outdoor activities in every season of the year. Adjacent to the forest lies an approximately two-square-hectare lake, The Dando Lake Bureau of Fishing Area, into which rainbow trout are released annually for a fishing competition held every mid-November, sponsored by the Shitara Tourism Association.
