The Bridge remained intact during the Niigata Earthquake of 1964, and played an important role in the evacuation of residents affected by the earthquake and in subsequent reconstruction work. The Bandai Bridge has been designated an Important Cultural Property, and now is a symbol of Niigata City as well.

    Niigata Higashikanbara-gun Aga Machi Kanose
    The Japan Society of Civil Engineers has chosen the Kanose Dam as one of the 2000 valuable Japanese civil engineering structures remaining from early modern times. It is also called the Tsunogami Dam, after the former name of the section of the village where it is located. The construction of the dam created a lake with a mystical appearance. It is known as a famous place for viewing cherry blossoms, and most years, several hundred Yoshino cherry and hill cherry trees bloom all at once late in April. The snow camellia garden is on the left side of downstream of the dam, where the wild original snow camellia is protected and carefully taken care of. You can enjoy a lovely crimson flowers there.

  • Furusawaya
    Travel / Tourism
    Niigata Higashikanbara-gun Aga Machi Kanose 5860
    A garden which has been planted with some 2,000 snow camellias spanning around 100 varieties. The garden is owned by Furusawa-ya, an inn situated at the foot of Mt. Kirinzan. The snow camellia, the official flower of Niigata Prefecture, was discovered and named here in Aga Town on Mt. Kirinzan in the Meiji period. Generations of the inn’s caretakers have painstakingly maintained the garden’s camellias. In most years, the flowers bloom from mid- to late April. Rivaling cherry blossoms in their beauty, they announce the arrival of spring in this region known as “snow country.” There is an entrance to the garden adjacent to the inn’s parking lot, and guests can visit the garden for free; accordingly, many staying at the inn like to take a morning stroll here.
