Chausuyama Plateau, Table land in Toyone and Neba, Japan
Chausuyama Plateau spans the Mino-Mikawa Highlands and forms part of the Tenryū-Okumikawa Quasi-National Park. The area features rolling terrain with open fields and forested slopes that create varied landscapes for recreation.
The plateau originated as an agricultural region where farmers cultivated crops suited to its elevation and cool climate. Over time, it transformed into a recreational destination while maintaining connections to its farming heritage.
The plateau draws visitors for the Shibazakura Festival, when pink moss phlox flowers blanket the slopes and create a memorable sight across the highland. This seasonal bloom has become central to how locals and travelers experience this place.
The plateau lies about two hours by car from Nagoya or Toyohashi, with parking available in multiple recreational zones. Spring and winter offer the best visiting conditions, when flowers bloom or winter sports become active.
During winter, the plateau serves as Aichi Prefecture's only skiing destination, with slopes designed for different skill levels. A conveyor lift for children makes skiing accessible even to young beginners.
