Toyone-Village Mt. Chausu Highland

Creeping phlox in the spring, new leaves' green in the summer, fall colors in autumn, and snowscapes in winter

Aichi Prefecture's tallest mountain, Mt. Chausu, lies on the border with Nagano Prefecture and boasts a peak soaring 1,415 meters into the sky. Its mountainous highland is ever so refreshing with idyllic white birch forests, a lake, grasslands, and other natural wonders.
At the 1,358-meter-high peak of one of the mountains in the Chausu Range—Mt. Hagitaro—a hill of 400 thousand creeping phlox blooms into a 22-thousand square meter carpet of vivid colors from the beginning of May to mid-June. Six varieties boast pink, white, light blue, light purple and other spectacular colors.

Plenty of outdoor activities too await you, such as go-karts, mountain biking, mountain boarding, boating, and more from spring to fall.
And in winter, the only ski slope in Aichi opens up for skiing and snowboarding down the impressive scenery. Weekends and national holidays offer skiing only while at other times, beginners and families with children can enjoy the slopes by sledding and a snow play area equipped with a belt-conveyor to carry you back up to the top.
