Stroll along the riverside promenade also known as a famous cherry blossom spot

About this spot

A riverside promenade developed along the Gojo River that flows through central Iwakura City. While it's crowded with people in spring as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, in summer the lush green trees create a comfortable shade tunnel, allowing you to walk leisurely while listening to the babbling river. It's a walking path where you can enjoy nature up close, characteristic of the compact town of Iwakura.

Tips

The road is paved and easy to walk, though some sections have limited shade, so don't forget to hydrate during summer. The path is wide enough to walk with a stroller. Insects may be more active near the river during certain seasons, so insect repellent would be helpful.

Best time to visit

Takes about 40 minutes. Even during strong sunlight, the shade is pleasant and the path is easy to walk.
