Hazu and Sangane
The Hazu region is blessed with the natural beauty of Mt. Sangane and Mikawa Bay. The Sangane mountains afford magnificent views of the ocean and the passing of the four seasons. Also, don’t miss walking to Sanshiro Island on a thin strip of dry land exposed only at low tide. Blessed with seafood, the local asari clams are an especially popular springtime treat. There are delicious asari restaurants as well as many fashionable cafes along the coast.
