Approximately 400 cherry trees line the river with Inuyama Castle at its center.

This walk is popular among locals and follows Gose River. You can walk under cherry trees from Inuyama Station to where Kiso River lies.

For this walk along the Kiso River there are two paths available: one right along the river and another on the embankment. Cherry blossom-viewing rickshaws are available during the cherry blossom season.

This festival dates from 1635 and is under the direction of the Haritsuna shrine. It takes place every year on the first weekend of April and is part of UNESCO’s intangible cultural world heritage. Thirteen eight-meter-high floats go around the castle town and their puppets dance to the sounds of flutes and drums. 365 lanterns are then lit on each float and during the evening, and one more time they go around the city under the cherry blossoms.

Please enjoy the autumn leaves spread under you from the donjon and the red autumn leaves decorating the donjon, from the square in front of the donjon.

The Otemichi (Tokakudo) covered in an arch formed by autumn leaves is truly a hidden treasure.

There are many shops where you can rent kimono in the castle town of Inuyama Castle. You can rent them without bringing anything since you can rent a whole kimono and even have hair and make-up done. Please enjoy the retro town-scape while wearing a kimono.
