The Tsugaike Nature Park is located in the Chubu-Sangaku National Park, which extends through Niigata, Toyama, Nagano and Gifu prefectures. Visitors can see mountains such as Shirouma-sanzan and enjoy beautiful landscapes that change with the seasons. Skunk cabbage flowers bloom while the snow melts in spring, uncountable flowers fill the fields in summer, and the crimson maple leaves are wonderfully overwhelming in autumn.
