The mountain tops peeking through the sea of clouds that spreads out in front of visitors look like small islands in the ocean. This is the most spectacular scenery in Misato Town. You can only see this phenomenon when certain meteorological conditions are met during mornings in autumn and winter. Misato Town’s weather tends to change often, the air is often humid, and thick fogs often cover the town. However, climatic conditions like this are ideal to be able to see the sea of clouds.
There are two special spots in town from where you can see the sea of clouds.
You will enjoy the magnificent view of mountains particularly at dawn and dusk even if you cannot see the sea of clouds.

One of the best spots to view the sea of clouds is in between the central region of Misato Town and Mt. Sanbe (Noma region), where there is a field of chestnut trees. Visitors who pay the entrance fee to this chestnut field can pick chestnuts.
During the peak season, you will be able to pick plump chestnuts.
They are significantly larger than those you can buy at supermarkets.
* The orchard is open to visitors between mid-September and early October. These times may vary depending on the rate of growth of the chestnuts.
