Damamine Castle Ruins

A must-visit for history fans, conveying the atmosphere of a Sengoku-period mountain castle. Located at an altitude of 350 meters, the Honmaru Palace and main gate have been restored using period-appropriate construction methods. Unlike flamboyant castles, it reproduces the simple yet powerful appearance of a "medieval castle," allowing you to feel the life and tension of ancient warriors. Surrounded by quiet mountains, the site deeply tells the history of Oku-Mikawa alongside seasonal nature.

Korankei

Famous nationwide as the best autumn foliage spot in the Tokai region. The view of about 4,000 maple trees turning color along the Tomoe River is spectacular, and the night light-up creates a golden fantasy forest. With dogtooth violets in spring, fresh greenery and river play in summer, and silent snowscapes in winter, you can enjoy nature year-round. Strolling through the old streets while eating "Gohei-mochi" lets you fully experience the beauty of Japan's four seasons.
