The county planted plane trees along its streets in 1985, before replacing them with three-flower maples in 1998 following complaints that plane trees cover up store signs and produce pollen that can aggravate certain respiratory diseases.

Three-flower maples with a ‘mushroom haircut’ along a two-kilometer stretch of road are gaining particular interest among visitors.
