Surrounding area[edit]

Yokobori is home to the Komachi-do temple that celebrates the Heian period poet Ono no Komachi, who died here. Every year when peonies are in full bloom lading the air with scent, normally the second Sunday of June, local people host the Komachi Matsuri. During the festival, seven "komachi musume" are reading out the waka poems, and small children parade through the area as well as a performance of Komachi taiko drums. About 30 minutes by car southeast from Yokobori along Japan National Route 108 is the Akinomiya Hot Spring Resort area.
