Akagi Castle is a flat mountain castle built by Todo Takatora, a master TakatoraTodo builder, using a combination of medieval and early modern castle construction methods, and has castle functions that can be considered the embryo of early modern castles. Also, the castle ruins floating in the morning mist are so fantastic that they are said to be castles in the sky. There are many cherry blossoms in the main building, and it is also known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot.

MaruyamaSenmaida

In the Maruyama district of KumanoCity, there are many small rice fields called Senmaida. The scenery is spectacular, and it is said to be the best terraced rice field scenery in Japan. There are approximately 1,340 small rice fields stacked on top of each other, so much so that it is said that ``I thought one rice field was missing, but it was hidden under the shade.''

Numerous events are held throughout the year, including rice cultivation experiences, and conservation activities are carried out by local people.
