Senryuin Sanmon, two-story gate01 ／ Daimyojinbuchi
Daimyojinbuchi is a gorge of the Abu River where the channel narrows, the current quickens and the bedrock rises steeply. The village writes that it holds a waterfall-basin pothole 7 m across, with a rounded stone, a drillstone, that scoured the bedrock inside. The village designated it a scenic spot in February 2005.
02 ／ Sahara-Notanohira Kannon
From the Bunka and Bunsei eras, stone statues of Kannon, numbered one to thirty-three, were set up one after another along the village's mountain paths. Horses were vital for farming and mountain work, and leading them on steep paths was dangerous, so the village writes that the statues were enshrined to ward off misfortune to the horses. They run from the foot of the Kumanozaka slope in Hayashisato to Notanohira.
03 ／ Sasamidaira weeping cherry
This Edo-higan-type cherry stands in the Sasamidaira area of Horikoshi. It is 13 m tall, 2 m across at chest height and spreads 15 m, and is estimated to be over 400 years old.
