Every year, the "Korankei Maple Festival" is held for a month from November 1st to 30th. The festival delights visitors with events according to the annual theme. Especially noteworthy is the light-up from sunset to 21:00. The fantastical scene of autumn leaves illuminated by lights is sure to leave an impression on your heart.
In addition to the autumn leaves in fall, there is an abundance of charm that changes with each season, including wild mountain flowers in spring, fresh greenery in early summer, and snowy landscapes in winter. Particularly famous are the dogtooth violet flowers that bloom from mid-March to late March. The carpet of flowers created by these delicate purple flowers is also a must-see.

The rows of maple trees along both sides of the river are insanely red—absolutely stunning, especially with the wooden bridge in the background for photos! The evening light-up event is super romantic. The illuminated leaves look totally different from how they do during the day.
