[Just like the world of Ghibli 🌲 Walk through the autumn leaves tunnel at Maruyama Park's "Totoro Forest"]

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Maruyama Park in Odai Town, Mie Prefecture, is a fantastical spot for viewing autumn leaves, known locally as "Totoro's Forest." Especially in autumn, the enkianthus azaleas turn bright red, creating a tunnel that makes you feel as if you've wandered into a picture book. 🍁 The tunnel of autumn leaves that continues along a gentle slope is a space that will soothe your soul just by walking through it. I visited in mid-November. The red leaves sparkled in the morning light, and I was moved by the atmosphere that made me feel like "Totoro might just appear." ✨ This is a spectacular spot that can be enjoyed for free, perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without the crowds! 🚃【Access】 ・Address: Shimomate, Odai-cho, Taki-gun, Mie Prefecture ・Car: About 8 minutes from Omiya Odai IC on the Kisei Expressway ・Parking: Usually about 10 cars (temporary parking available during autumn foliage season)  └ Matate Regional General Center (15 minutes walk, about 50 cars)🅿️ ※The parking lot in front of the park is closed on weekends and holidays during autumn foliage season, so we recommend using the temporary parking lot! 🧭【Travel Tips】 ・The best time to see the autumn leaves is mid- to late November🍂 ・The best time to go is before 9am! There are few people and it's easy to take photos 📷 ・Dogs are allowed 🐶 (leads required), so it's great for bringing pets ◎ ・You can use the toilet at the temporary parking lot (Mate Regional General Center) 🚻 ・You can also enjoy hot springs and lunch at the nearby "Okuise Forest Pier" ♨️🍴 Maruyama Park #Totoro Forest #Enkianthus persica #Autumn leaves tunnel #Odai Town Domestic travel #Couple travel #Solo travel #Absolutely free travel
