The Yagachigawa Embankment is a stunning autumn destination in Handa, Aichi, famous for its vibrant display of approximately 3 million spider lilies (Higanbana) that bloom from late September to early October. During this period, the "Gongitsune Autumn Festival" takes place, adding to the lively atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk along the embankment, immersing themselves in the vivid red landscape. The site is accessible via a 10-minute walk from Handa-guchi Station on the Meitetsu Kowa Line, or a short taxi ride from Sumiyoshi-cho Station. Note that parking arrangements change during the festival, so it's best to check the Handa City Tourist Association website for the most up-to-date information.
