Hanno

Tucked into the foothills of the Okumusashi hills in western Saitama Prefecture, Hanno is a place whose character is shaped by the Iruma River and the surrounding woodland. The city developed as a centre for Nishikawa timber, a local forestry tradition that supplied lumber to Edo, now Tokyo. Riverside paths and low mountains place the urban centre close to hiking country, while Miyazawa Lake is home to Moominvalley Park, inspired by Tove Jansson’s Moomin stories. Hanno also hosts an annual festival known for its floats and traditional music. Move on to other webcams in Saitama Prefecture to compare landscapes and settings around Hanno.
