    "Shichikawa Dam is a dam built at Shichikawa on the upper reaches of Koza River, around 35 minutes' drive from Koza Station on the JR Kinokuni Line. It was formerly known as Kozakawa Dam. At the reservoir behind the dam, visitors can enjoy fishing for black bass etc., and there is also Yunohana Onsen resort on the lake-side. Around 3,000 Yoshino Cherry trees have been planted along a roughly 5 kilometers stretch of the road that runs along the banks of the reservoir, and the area has been included in the list of the ""100 Best Places in Japan to View Cherry Blossom."" ""Sada Cherry Blossom Festival"" is held from late March to early April every year, when visitors can enjoy the sight of the cherry blossom illuminated by traditional paper lanterns at night."

It was set up in 1999 on the occasion of the Nanki Kumano Taikenhaku, an outdoor exhibition, and it has been listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the world's deepest underwater post box. Visitors can buy special waterproof artificial paper for use in the underwater post box at Club Noah Susami. They do not even have to dive down to the bottom of the sea to mail their postcards; staff members will do it for them.

    This tree is located approximately a 30-minute drive from the JR Koza Station.

It has been designated as a cultural asset of Kozagawa Town, and is estimated to be around 400 years old. It is a magnificent tree, approximately 30 meters tall, and with a trunk of approximately 6 meters. Rumors spread that the protrusions that hang from its branches resemble the shape of breasts, and that praying at the tree will bless those who are unable to bear children, and it eventually came to be called a Birth-Blessing Gingko tree.
