Ōkawara Plateau

Place with wonderful views of the mountains, a beautiful sunset, has parking and a small stretch with trail. There is a store that sells food, drinks and soft cream.

Really dangerous uphill route to there. Need driving very carefully. But can see very nice scenery and many big windmills there.

Beautiful views of Kamiyama below and mountains beyond--as well as Tokushima City, Awaji Islands Ann's the Kii Straits. And there are cows being pastured nearby.

Very nice views from up here. Come during hydrangea season!

Hydrangeas are beautiful at the beginning of summer. Even on hot days in the flatlands, it's a little cooler due to the high altitude, and the breeze blows comfortably, making it a good place to visit to escape the heat. The view is great, and you can even see the cows on the farm up close if you walk a little from the parking lot. The road from the Sanagawachi Village side is relatively easy to ride, but there are some spots on the Kamikatsu Town side where it is difficult to leave, so be careful. When I visited on the day of the hydrangea festival, there was a traffic jam from about 1 km before the entrance, so please be careful.
