Spring in Inuyama—where tea is savored under cherry blossoms, and the festival floats carry centuries of tradition.

Summer
As summer settles over Inuyama, the Kiso River comes alive with the soft glow of lanterns and the quiet rhythm of Ukai—traditional cormorant fishing.

Fall
Autumn paints Inuyama in shades of gold and crimson, especially near the quiet paths of Momotaro Shrine and Jakkō-in.
The rustling of fallen leaves, the scent of roasted tea, and the crisp air together create a peaceful moment-a season for reflection beneath a canopy of fiery maple leaves.

Winter
In winter, Inuyama transforms into a serene world of white. Snow blankets the ancient castle and quiet forests, inviting you to slow down and savor the warmth of a freshly steeped cup of tea.
It’s a season of stillness, where time seems to pause beneath the soft hush of falling snow.
