Tono’s Story House

Kojin Shrine

It is one of the places where the original scenery typical of Tono remains. There is a legend that Gongen-sama, who is enshrined in a thatched-roofed shrine nestled in a rice field, bit off one ear of a Gongen-sama from another land, and is also known as Kojin, the fierce god. It is a soothing landscape that you can see reflected in the rice fields in spring, green rice fields in summer, golden ears of rice in autumn, and pure white snow in winter.

Tonokura no Michi Gallery

A gallery created using a warehouse. There are four rooms, the ``Citizen Gallery'' and ``Creative Activity Room'' where exhibitions and workshops of various collections are held. ``Attic'', which is located in the attic of a warehouse, displays a large number of nostalgic toys and character goods from the Showa era, creating a space where both adults and children can travel back in time. You can also play with domestic and international toys at the attached Toy Library.

Twill cherry blossom trees

This is a row of cherry blossom trees along the bicycle path between National Route 283 and Sarugaishi River in the Ayaori district. The view of the Sarugaishi River, cherry blossom trees, and Mt. Rokkaku Ushiyama in the distance is one of Tono's most representative viewpoints in spring. [Best time to see] Late April to around May 5th
