A stunning spot where about 3 million "Red Spider Lilies" (Higanbana) bloom in autumn, painting the riverbanks in a fiery red. This area is the setting for the masterpiece fairy tale "Gon, the Little Fox" by Nankichi Niimi, and the scenery from the story still lives on today. Walking along the river feels like entering a storybook. The contrast between the red lilies, blue sky, and green fields in late September is a nostalgic original landscape of Japan that captivates every visitor.
