In addition, many people have lived in Nagawa Town, Nagano Prefecture, as a production area of kokuyoseki since long ago.

While working alongside a youth group learning history and culture at a local museum, they will promote Nagawacho’s historical assets: obsidian and Jomon culture.

This town’s Furumachi Toyoke Grand Shrine holds its annual festival, commonly known as the Otaya Festival, when float decorations are presented at five locations around town.

Chowa Town Rural Area
Today is also good weather. There is sunshine, but the wind is an autumn wind. From now until the Autumn leaves season, it is a good season when the scenery changes.
The rice fields are gradually turning golden. I wonder if the harvest will be a little earlier this year.

Please don't take the trash
Famous garbageless jizo in Chowa Town and Ueda district, "garbageless little boy"?
It is tucked away in the parking lot of the Eternal Horse Enforcement Station (entertainment area) near Car Wada Pass.
It is said that this place was established a long time ago by Kaseya Yobei of Edo Kufu Town, and in order to reduce the difficulty of traveling over the mountain pass, people and horses were provided with porridge, bonfires, and fodder free of charge.
