Overview

Japanese maple leaves at Sogi Park in fall

• In the park there are around 300 trees including Japanese maple, maple, ginkgo biloba, Japanese hemlock, and giant dogwood, as well as variously sized ponds.
• In fall, the foliage of the trees and shrubs is reflected in the ponds, and one can see "inverted fall foliage". This inverted fall foliage has been lit up at night every year since 1999.
• As a famous spot for fall foliage, it was selected to be in "33 Spots for Fall Foliage in Hida and Mino" in 2004, and the "100 Famous Places for Fall Foliage in Japan" in 2010.
• This park is close to the border with Aichi Prefecture. If one continues on Gifu Prefectural Route 111 towards Aichi for about 2 kilometers, they will enter the city of Toyota (formerly Obara).
