🍁The annual “Momiji Festival” is held during the season when the autumn leaves are at their best.
During the day, there are various events held, such as jazz concerts, free sweet sake service, and workshops to make moss balls from wild flowers. There is also a foot bath spot, so you can spend a relaxing and healing time.
