The natural scenery of Sagano is filled with seasonal beauty. Walking along the paths of Sagano, you’ll encounter lush trees and mountains, with streams and brooks quietly flowing through the landscape. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, while in summer, the rich greenery offers refreshing shade. Autumn brings vibrant hues of red and orange as the mountains are painted in fall colors, and in winter, the area transforms into a serene snow-covered landscape. Ancient temples and tea houses nestled in nature add to the region’s historical charm, offering visitors peace and tranquility.
