Every spring in the month of May, there is a kimono festival that enlivens the city. The winter and early spring are characterized by cold wet weather and heavy snowfall; the bright and colorful kimono festival is a beautiful celebration that celebrates the region's fame for kimono textiles.
清津峡, Kiyotsukyō
Kiyotsu Gorge is a spectacular gorge known for its steep cliffs of columnar rock formations and the clear waters of the Kiyotsu River. A 750-metre-long pedestrian tunnel provides several viewing points, culminating in the Panorama Station, where a reflective pool creates striking views of the gorge. The tunnel's artistic design makes it a popular destination for photographers, especially during autumn foliage.
