Wind chimes and potted lantern plants, a seasonal feature of summer, adorn the stone steps of Ikaho Onsen in Shibukawa City.
The cool sound of wind chimes hanging from the eaves of souvenir shops and inns welcomes tourists in a pleasant manner.
This initiative has been carried out every year since 2002 by the Women's Division of the Shibukawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry with the aim of revitalizing the area,
and this year 650 pots of lanterns were distributed, mainly around Ikaho Onsen.
The berries are just starting to color now, but the bright orange berries will be enjoyable during the summer tourist season."
