Feel the Japanese sentiment of spring at Ouchi-juku

In May, carp streamers along the 450-meter-long highway dance in the wind and beautifully color the fresh green of Ouchi-juku. The scenery is a living example of traditional Japanese culture and the emotion of spring.

A rural landscape that evokes the gentle flow of time

The rice paddies of Shimogo Town cover about half of the town, and each season presents a different expression. In spring, the flooded rice fields shine like mirrors, in summer a carpet of green spreads out, and in autumn they turn golden. And in winter, a silvery white world covered with snow unfolds. Especially in spring, the scenery varies depending on the weather and time of year.
