Mount Saga is home to one of the largest areas of narcissus flower cultivation in Japan. The flowers are grown in terraced plots along the slopes of the mountain, mostly those facing Kyonan. The plantings are primarily of the "Nihon" variety of narcissus, which probably originated in south China and came to Japan via the Kuroshio Current. Mount Saga has been used for narcissus cultivation from at least the Edo period 1603–1868. The daimyō Matsudaira Sadanobu (1759–1829), administrator of Shirakawa Domain in present-day Fukushima Prefecture, visited the area in 1811 and noted the mountain and its narcissus cultivation in his diary.
