Geological HeritageToyooka City

Tanto

Relatively gentle mountains are spread in the Tanto area because the granite of the Continent Era widely distributed in this area is easily weathered and eroded. The mountain passes are relatively low compared to the steep Mt. Sobudake and the Oginosen area, through which an old highway to Kyoto area was built.

(1)Ankoku-ji Temple
The temple is also called as Ankokuzenji, which was founded by the great monk Houtou in the latter part of the Kamakura Period. A Gautama Buddha statue stands here. The 100 year old Enkianthus tree growing in the backyard is famous.

(2)Taishiyama huge rocks
Huge rocks of granite from the Continent Era are distributed in the mountain.

(3)Silk Spa "Yamabiko"
A hot spring sprung from the basement rock of Japanese Archipelago before the Continent Era. There is an explanatory plate about the rocks (serpentinite) in the parking lot.

(4)Tanto Tulip Festival
A tulip festival has been held every year since 1992 at the Tanto Flower Park in Hatayama, Tanto-cho, Toyooka City, fascinating visitors with colorful tulips, a specimen garden having 300 kinds of tulips, and flower art made of 100,000 flowers.
