This vast park was established on the former site of the Nagakute site of the Expo 2005, a World Expo held in Aichi. The building, which was used as a guesthouse and reception hall during the exposition, has been converted into the Expo 2005 Memorial Hall, where more than 300 items donated by foreign pavilions are on display. Those who actually visited the Expo back then will feel nostalgic.

The 88-meter-high Ferris wheel, one of the largest in the Tokai area, offers a panoramic view of Morikoro Park. Pets are welcome to ride along with you. The park also has a variety of sports facilities, including a cycling course and an ice skating rink. The park is very large, so make good use of the free park buses to get around.

Highlights

  • A vast park established on the former site of the 2005 Expo in Aichi.
