Hongūsan Prefectural Natural Park

Hongūsan Prefectural Natural Park, Prefectural natural park in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Hongūsan Prefectural Natural Park is a large protected area in Aichi Prefecture centered on Mount Hongu. It spreads across dense forests, mountain ranges, valleys, and flowing waterways that cover approximately 7,300 hectares.

The area became a prefectural natural park in 1969, granting it official protection. This designation ensured the preservation of the region's natural resources and landscapes for the future.

The Toga Shrine within the park serves as an important Shinto temple rooted in the former Mikawa province's spiritual traditions. Visitors encounter a place that functions both as a religious center and as a cultural gathering point for local communities.

Multiple hiking trails wind through the park, offering routes for different experience levels. A parking area at the summit of Mount Hongu provides straightforward access to the peak and nearby features.

The Kuragari Valley contains multiple observation points where visitors can study the diverse plant life found throughout the area. These designated viewing zones showcase the botanical variety that defines the region.
