This is the main shrine of Kounosu, where the legend of konotori (=stork), which is also believed to be the reason behind the cities name, has been handed down to this day. In 1873, Raiden Shrine, Kumano Shrine, and Hikawa Shrine were combined to form Kono Shrine. At the end of the year, they hold a Tori no Ichi marked at the shrine.

Fuji from under the Onari bridge by the Arakawa river, where the field can be found, is known as one of the best views of Mt. Fuji. A truly spectacular and scenic view of red, pink, and orange poppies blooming all around you.
