Akiruno City is a city rich in natural scenery. Many people visit the famous Akigawa Valley, where they can enjoy the natural beauty of the four seasons. Located about an hour from central Tokyo, Akigawa Valley is a popular spot where you can easily enjoy nature. The city's specialty is corn, characterized by its large individual kernels and strong sweetness. Another local specialty is the firm-bodied sweetfish that swim in the clear waters of the Akigawa River. You can enjoy dishes made with sweetfish caught in Akiruno City at restaurants in the city. The Akiruno Shrine Annual Festival, where a hexagonal portable shrine weighing over 100 kan is paraded through town, is the city's largest festival and brings the town to life.
