After returning from Hida-Takayama, visited the Rose Garden in Kani, which was more than 1hr from Nagoya by train and shuttle bus. This rose garden was huge – apart from 30,000 rose bushes, it also had many Spring flowers such as Poppy, Daisy, Camelia etc.
The Shin-Hotaka ropeway is a double-decker, stretching from 1100m up to 2100m. At the top observatory, a panoramic view of the JP Alps can be seen, with summits ranging from 2400m – 3100m like Mt Nishi-Hotaka, Mt Yari, Mt Kasa, Mt Yake etc.
