Situated at the foot of Oyada Shrine, the valley features approximately 3,000 maple trees, designated as a natural monument. The best time to visit is in early to mid-November when the leaves are at their peak color. During the Momiji Festival, you can enjoy the festive atmosphere with food stalls. Be prepared for crowds and a possible parking fee during peak season.
