Outline
During the Muromachi period, the city of Yamaguchi was modeled after Kyoto, with Ichinosaka River representing Kyoto’s Kamo River. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom along the river, and at night, the area is illuminated, allowing visitors to enjoy nighttime cherry blossom viewing. In early summer, visitors can witness the enchanting Genji fireflies, a nationally designated natural monument, dancing along the river. Every year, the “Firefly Viewing Week” is held from late May to early June.
Along the river, there are cafés and dining spots where visitors can stop by during their stroll and enjoy a leisurely time while gazing at the gentle flow of the river.
