Akazawa Forest Railway

A park that stretches across the flat on the left bank, a little down the Kiso River from the floor of the sleep. In connection with the legend of Taro Urashima, you can enjoy a walk while admiring granite monuments and objects made with the theme of time. The eye-catching is a huge sundial monument in the center of the park. It is a work of art by the pioneer of environmental art, Akira Kaku, and it is a work of art that calculates the fluctuation of the Earth's axis of rotation. There are also works that get motifs from the Urashima legend, such as the Tamate Box and the Dragon Palace Gate, so it is interesting to look around while adding interpretations to each of them.

Rong (historical site), known for its "Pao no Asaka", one of the Kiso Hakkei. It is a difficult place on Nakasendo, which has become a song pillow as a dangerous thing since ancient times. It used to be a 100m long road with only a round of wood and planks along the cliff, but it was burned down in the early Edo period and was later converted into a stone-kumen. At present, the old national highway runs over the Rō, leaving only a part of the stone wall.

The temple of the Rinzai sect of Myoshin-ji, which stands in the immediate vicinity of National Highway 19 and overlooks the floor of Nekaku. It is the origin of Kaeki that Taro Urashima left his old self and traveled, but he celebrated the statue of Bentakuten, which was left behind. The precincts include Matsuo Bashō, Shōka Kōtō, Tanida Sankō-no-Ike, and a treasure house, with a short cut from the entrance at the back to the floor at Nekaku. The treasure house displays the patronage fishing rod [Tsurizao], which is a patronage that is misplaced by Taro Urashima.
