In addition to the cherry blossoms along the riverbank, this is an interesting spot to see unusual geographical features, such as the oddly shaped rocks and stones created by the rapids, and "potholes" that form over a long period of time when stones get caught in depressions and rotate due to the water.
In 2006, the discovery of a herbivorous dinosaur fossil near Kawashiro Park caused quite a stir. From the suspension bridge and riverbanks of Kawashiro Park, you can observe strata dating back 110 million years. The view of rows of cherry blossoms in a landscape that exudes the romance of ancient times is truly spectacular. It's the perfect spot for a drive and photography.
