Shimanto, Kochi
36 Willows and canola flower as Far as the Eye Can See from the Shimanto Riverbank
While fields of canola flower can be seen here and there throughout Japan, nothing compares to the view from the Shimanto Riverbank, where meadows of yellow canola flower carpet the floor of a brightly colored willow forest. Green willows and yellow canola flower woven together for two kilometers along the Shimanto River create a beautiful contrast, and you can enjoy a stroll or take in the views while making merry at the Canola Flower Festival.
