Ono Nature Observation Forest in Hatsukaichi City is a facility surrounded by lush forests and wetlands. The park is home to a colony of "Beni-mansaku" (Disanthus cercidifolius), whose heart-shaped leaves turn vivid red in autumn, creating a fantastic sight. Rare flora and fauna like Forest Green Tree Frogs and Scarlet Dwarf dragonflies inhabit the area, and you can learn about the ecosystem of Japan's Satoyama firsthand while strolling along the well-maintained trails. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the calm Seto Inland Sea archipelago, combining natural silence with spectacular views. It is a peaceful healing spot that satisfies intellectual curiosity while allowing you to feel the changing seasons with all five senses.
