When you walk through the Sasayaki-no-Komichi, you feel that this scene has remained the same since the Manyou period. You can see the white Asebi flowers and the elegant Wisteria flowers in the shade of the trees. The beauty overwhelms you. I can imagine that the imperial people came to sketch, and to write poems here at one time. Also this path is the place for talking to good friends with the background of the nature of each season. The Sasayaki-no-Komichi, which is familiar to many people, catches my heart whenever I come.
