Enter into the world of famous children's story "Gon, the Little Fox"!

Gon's Autumn Festival attempts to recreate Handa-born children's book writer Nankichi Niimi's famous story "Gon, the Little Fox" at its setting on the Yakachi River. To further illustrate the story's atmosphere, residents even came together to grow three million red spider lilies along the banks. Come learn about Nankichi Niimi at related spots in the area, such as the Niimi Nankichi Memorial Museum, as you enjoy lots of other fun planned by the locals during the event period.
