Mino-Mikawa Highlands, Tableland across Gifu, Aichi, and Nagano Prefectures, Japan.
The Mino-Mikawa Highlands extend across three prefectures, reaching an elevation of 1,415 meters with Lake Mikawa at its center.
The region was part of the historical Mikawa Province, which gained importance during the Edo period as Japan's only authorized gunpowder production area.
Local communities maintain traditional events at Lake Mikawa, including seasonal flower wreath making and handcrafted sausage preparation activities.
Visitors can reach the highlands through Toyota-Matsudaira interchange, with a 40-minute drive via routes 301 and 363 leading to the main attractions.
Lake Mikawa functions as the largest artificial irrigation reservoir in the region, supporting agricultural activities throughout the Mikawa territory.
