What to expect
The Yakachigawa riverbanks transform into a vivid red tapestry as thousands of higanbana bloom, their delicate petals creating a striking contrast against the lush greenery and flowing water.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon for the best light on the flowers. The path along the river offers excellent views, but bring sturdy shoes as the ground can be uneven.
