Kinchakuda in Hidaka, Saitama, is a popular destination in September when the higanbana (spider lily flower) covers the riverbank in a majestic red carpet. Summer, however, brings different reasons to enjoy the purse-shaped fields. The Koma River that circles the field is the perfect place to cool off with a swim and to enjoy barbecue. A stroll around the fields will reveal lotus flowers in bloom, bright green rice paddies, and blueberry bushes heavy with fruit.
