The annual Manjushage Festival in Hirata City runs from September 19 to October 4. The striking Manjushage, also known as red spider lilies, bloom around the autumn equinox each year. Millions of these flowers transform the riverbank green spaces around Kinchaku Field into a vast expanse of red, making it a highlight of the local flower-viewing calendar. During the festival, local food vendors set up a lively market village, allowing visitors to enjoy delicious traditional cuisine while admiring the blossoms. In addition, the nearby lush green hills and clear waters offer the perfect setting for autumn outings.
