Hiryu no Taki Falls
The sound and spray of water falling from a height of 16 meters is spectacular. It is said that the name of the waterfall comes from the rock wall protruding from the center of the waterfall, which changes the flow of water, resembling the shape of a flying dragon.
Sushimasa
If you're looking to enjoy some delicious sushi with the family, this is the place! The restaurant also provides catering and in-house banquet services.
Asago
Enjoy upscale cuisine made with seasonal ingredients at this Japanese restaurant. We especially recommend the kaiseki meals (reservations required) that the owner prepares from seasonal fish, such as pike conger eel in summer and yellowtail with sake lees in winter. For lunch, the "Kaisen-don" (¥1,500) and "Shokado bento" (¥1,500) are great ways to enjoy top-notch cuisine at a reasonable price.
Horumon Yaki Udon Otafuku
"The basic style of Sayo Hormon Yaki Udon is to grill various meat, udon noodles and vegetables ina special sauce on a griddle all at once and eat them with soy sauce-based dipping sauces. The combination of the traditional sauce, which has been handed down for three generations, and the hormon is a taste that once you try it, you'll be addicted to it. The spacious restaurant has both table seating and tatami rooms."
Sasagaoka Park
Sasagaoka Park, with its rolling slopes and greenery, is a popular spot for visitors to enjoy the nearly 800 blooming cherry trees in spring. The park also has a plaza, athletic playground equipment, and a 100-meter-long slide, which is very popular with visiting children. Rain or shine, visitors can also enjoy a game of Japanese croquet or ground-golf at the Sasagaoka Dome within the park grounds.
Sugisaka Monument
This monument was erected to commemorate one of Emperor Go-Daigo's loyal samurai, Kojima Takanori's most tragic failures. Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339) was exiled to the remote Oki Islands after the failed coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate. While being transported, Kojima Takanori waited at Funasaka Pass to ambush the transportation unit and save Emperor Go-Daigo from being exiled. However, the Emperor did not pass through the Funasaka Pass but through the Sugisaka Pass at this very spot. When Takanori learned of this, he rushed to Sugisaka Pass, but he was too late and unable to save the Emperor.
