If you want to have fun in the area
This is a district festival that began in 2014 (Heisei 26). Held annually from late March to mid-May, scarecrows made by local residents line the area around the roadside station. The theme changes each time, and the scarecrows are displayed to entertain visitors. The number of scarecrows is increasing each year, and although the 2020 festival was cancelled due to Corona, the 2021 festival will be held from March 21 to May 14 to coincide with the opening of the roadside station.
