Korankei Visitor Center

Korankei Visitor Center
Korankei valley. In Korankei valley, you can get away from the business of Nagoya, walk around, dip your toes in the river and if you’re up to it go on a small hike and visit a shrine hidden in the forest. Even though Asuke is most famous for its 4000 Japanese maple trees which create beautiful autumn colors, it’s beautiful whole year round. If we're lucky you might hear the sound of the bush warbler, a tiny bird with a big voice.
Historical Asuke highway post town
Inside Korankei is Sanshu Asuke yashiki, an open-air museum which showcases traditional Japanese farmhouses and daily life during the Edo period. Visitors can see demonstrations of traditional crafts and participate in hands-on activities. It is also great for photography and buying small hand made goods. Asuke is a charming, historic town. It is renowned for its well-preserved Edo-period atmosphere and scenic beauty. You can enjoy the atmosphere of a bygone era. The town's architecture and layout have been carefully preserved, making it a favorite spot for history enthusiasts and photographers.

A historic site that offers a glimpse into Japan's feudal past. Located in the charming town of Asuke, this reconstructed castle provides an authentic experience of the Edo period. Wander through its well-preserved grounds, admire the traditional architecture, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Asuke Castle is not just a monument of history but also a serene spot where you can appreciate the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. (for Pilipino travelers, this a location where pusong dragon by Abra was recorded) (closed on thursdays/entrance 300 yen) (included in package)
Toyota cars, Japanese maple trees, a bush warbler, a castle.......all that's missing from this trip is a visit to a temple. I will bring you to Zoufukuji temple, a quiet local temple in a rather old little village. The sounds of thousands of wind chimes fill the air, while we slowly walk around and enjoy the peacefulness of these surroundings
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
