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

    This natural park was built on the former site of Expo 2005 Aichi. The grounds are huge and full of greenery, and it's very pleasant to walk around, with none of the hustle and bustle of the city.

    Ghibli Park is located within the grounds and is also one of the most popular attractions here. Besides Ghibli Park, there are also vast natural landscapes nearby, making it a great place to set aside some time for a leisurely walk and photos.

    On weekdays, there's also a free shuttle bus within the park. When you get tired of walking, you can take the bus instead of having to walk all the way, making the overall visit quite relaxing.
