Jōsai Waterway Promenade (Jōsai Gōguchi Waterway)

A torrent of melting snow and a corridor of cherry blossoms. Walk along the Jōsai Irrigation Canal Promenade, a World Heritage Irrigation Structure.

A tunnel of cherry blossoms stretching for about 1km, and a spectacular view of the Tateyama mountain range seen through the blossoms—a sight only available in spring.

A dynamic and photogenic spring scene, where the powerful flow of melting snow and cherry blossoms intertwine.

The surrounding area also offers attractions that allow you to experience the history of flood control, such as "Sasa Embankment" and "Tonosama Forest."

A pleasant walking course along the Jōsai Gōguchi Irrigation Canal, a World Heritage Irrigation Structure.

The Jōsai Waterway Promenade is a walking path developed along the Jōsai Gōguchi Waterway, which flows alongside the Jōganji River.
In spring, the approximately 1km-long row of cherry trees that covers the irrigation canal transforms into a "cherry blossom tunnel," creating a spectacular walking course with the Tateyama mountain range as a backdrop.

These cherry trees were originally planted around 1955 by a local youth association as part of their volunteer work.
The contrast between the roaring snowmelt water flowing through the irrigation canal and the delicate cherry blossoms is truly a sight to behold.

Around the walking path, you can find remnants of the embankment built by Sassa Narimasa, known as "Sassa Embankment," and "Tonosama Forest," which was developed as a flood control forest. As you stroll along the waterfront, you can also learn about the history of flood control and daily life.

The Jōsai Gōguchi Irrigation System, which has supported local agriculture and livelihoods for many years, was recognized and registered as a World Heritage Irrigation Structure in 2.
