This river runs towards Mt. Fuji in the north, and gets its ample water supply from the Amagi mountain chain. It runs through the center of town, and is famous as a popular fishing spot for sweetfish.

Mt. Jyou

This 342m-high mountain appears dynamic as its rugged rock face imposes on the skyline. Here you can enjoy hiking and rock climbing

Kanogawa Sakura Park

The home of approximately 150 cherry trees along the river's edge. These trees create a pink tunnel when they come into full bloom in April. The trees are illuminated in the evenings, and this area comes alive with crowds of people gathered to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Azaleas of Mt. Katsuragi

Ascend to the top of the mountain on the ropeway for a 360-degree panoramic view. There is also a perfect spot for viewing Mt. Fuji. From late April, rhododendrons bloom in lovely red and white along the mountain face.

Ohito Plum Garden

A forest of plum trees covers the mountain at the back of Ohito Shrine. In February, hundreds of plum trees come into flower, and the garden becomes crowded with viewing platforms. In June, the flowers turn into fruit, which you can enjoy picking for yourself.
