Houfuku Shrine is a historic shrine that is revered as the guardian deity of the Dragon God, Water God, and Sericulture. Many great people are also enshrined in the surrounding area, creating a solemn atmosphere. It's also known as a famous spot for autumn leaves, where you can walk along the promenade and see the Tamagawa River in peppermint color and the Kikou Waterfall. If you continue on, you'll come across the oldest suspension bridge in Akita Prefecture, "Kami no Iwabashi," where you can enjoy the beauty of the gorge. Be sure to watch your step and refresh yourself with negative ions while viewing the waterfall from inside the tunnel!
