The cherry blossom avenue said to have inspired a scene in the popular manga and anime "Chihayafuru." During cherry blossom season, lanterns are lit, attracting many visitors for hanami. In March 2019, the slope was affectionately named "Arata Slope" after "Arata Wataya," a character from "Chihayafuru" who resides in Awara City. A stone monument with karuta cards attached was erected there.
