They had been tied strongly by Mother Yoneshiro River for a long time.

In Futatsui area, there is ‘Kimimachizaka’ Park painted with seasonal varied colors. ‘Kaze no Matsubara’ (pine forest in the wind) is the result of predecessors’ exertion. You can see the magnificent stream of Yoneshiro River and the Sea of Japan reflects beautiful sunset.
