"A tunnel of trees that continues in a straight line. A road where you can feel the change of the seasons in a straight line"]

— About 500 metasequoia trees are lined up for about 2.4 km along the prefectural road to Makino Plateau in Shiga Prefecture.
The straight tree-lined road is as beautiful as a scene from a movie.
There are no flashy tourist facilities, but that is why it is a place where you can concentrate on the "expression of nature".
You can walk or drive there. It's a simple view, but it's sure to stay in your mind.
