The sweet and sour red berries of the "Yamamomo" (Japanese bayberry) that bloom in June also appear in the poems and writings of the folklorist Kunio Yanagita, who was born in the town, and are designated as a natural monument of Fukusaki Town. The syrup made from Yamamomo (Japanese bayberry) harvested in the town is mixed with soda (offering will end once the syrup runs out).

Kappa's favorite food, the "shirikodama," is said to be a fictional organ inside the human body, and it is said that if a kappa pulls one out, the person will lose all strength.
