The highest mountain east of Nagoya, located at the border of Aichi and Nagano prefectures. Even though it is not so high and there is an only very small ski resort, the specialized constructed driving way to the top is very much breathtaking with so much very Japanese great nature in the mountains.

Located at the edge of northeastern Aichi and southwestern Nagano, very close to the border with Shizuoka prefecture also.

Driving car or with tourist group from Nagoya, recommended tourism course is, through the Sanage Green Road which is very new and comfortable ETC highway, and after the very end directly run national route 153 which is very much natural Japanese countryside route with lots of nature alongside, through southern Nagano till Chuo expressway at Sonohara or Iida Yamamoto.

Recommended visiting or driving route is from Nagoya, see and experience some tourism spots like Toyota automobile museum or IKEA Nagakute east of Nagoya, see the beautiful tiny rounded river Kanpachikyo which is very close from the end of the Sanage Green Road.

Around Asuke area can see red and brown or sometimes even gold coloured very much special maple trees at Korankei in autumn, can try to taste local traditional snacks like Goheimochi or grilled solty or Japanese miso flavored river fishes or can find any kind of very traditional souvenirs at Korankei, then you can find lots of onsen around Inabu and southern Nagano, onsen means very traditional Japanese hotsprings which every foreigner can experience only in Japan. There are some nice affordable hotels as well. Very Japanese countryside natures.

By the way here is the border of both Aichi and Nagano and the address of this place should be Nagano prefecture I guess.
