A forested park chosen as one of Japan's top 100 forest bathing spots

Aichi Prefecture Forest Park is divided into a General Park and a paid Botanical Garden. The General Park is recommended for having a picnic, playing in the Kids House or other areas, attending events at the Open-Air Stage, or renting a boat at the boat pond.
Enjoy nature in the Botanical Garden, which has the Broad Lawn Square, approximately three times the size of a baseball stadium; a Sunken Garden that resembles a beautiful European garden; forests named after different themes based on each area; and flowers and birds every season.
The Sports Park offers horse riding, tennis, archery, baseball, and more.
