Komono Town (Komono-cho) in Mie is rich in nature, including the Gozaisho Ropeway with its expansive views of the Suzuka Mountains and the Yunoyama hot springs. Recently, Komono Town has been attracting a great deal of attention as a popular area among fashionable people. The attraction of Komono Town is its easy accessibility. It only takes less than an hour from Nagoya by car, making it a popular destination for a day trip.

This time, we will introduce recommended spots such as cafes and lifestyle shops that will make you want to go to Komono Town right now. Please use this as a reference for your weekend outings!

What kind of town is Komono Town?

Komono Town in Mie Prefecture is a town with a population of 40,000 in the northern part of Mie Prefecture. Adjacent to Yokkaichi, the largest city in the prefecture, it is about 10km from the city and about 40km from downtown Nagoya.

Speaking of Komono Town, isn't there only "Yunoyama Onsen" and "Mt. Gozaisho"? I think this is what many people think, but it's not like that. In addition to historical and cultural tourist spots, there are also fashionable cafes, select shops, and other spots that will make you want to visit.

Let's go now!

Banko ware with 300 years of history on the dining table "Kamoshika Douguten"

If you go to Komono Town, you should definitely visit the brand "Kamoshika Douguten (Kamoshika Tool Shop)", which was launched in 2014 by Yamaguchi Pottery, a kiln of Banko ware.

A renovated warehouse appears in the green rice field. "Suzuka Seven Mountains" spreads out in front of you, and the largest mountain among them, Mt. Gozaisho, stands firmly.

Forest Adventure is a “nature symbiotic outdoor park” originating in France. Forest Adventure, developed by French company Altus, was established in 1997 as a facility for corporate training.

The fun of the park has spread outside the park and is now open to the public, and there are now more than 250 facilities in Europe and other parts of the world. In Japan, the first park opened in August 2006 in a forest 1,100 meters above sea level at the foot of Mt. Fuji.

You can hold hands like this and slide together. Yunoyama Forest Adventure is the only place where you can slide while holding hands. It's a miracle zip slide made possible by the miraculous location of the trees!

By the way, you are allowed to bring cameras and smartphones into the park as long as you do so at your own risk, and enjoy taking photos and videos. (Clothing with a pouch is recommended due to the possibility of falling)

If you want to enjoy the thrill and exhilaration in the forest, please go to "Forest Adventure Yunoyama". It is a spot where both children and adults can move their bodies to the fullest.
