In the late Edo period, Okegawa was known as a major production area for safflower, ranking second in the country after Yamagata in production volume. It is said that safflower merchants visited Okegawa-juku in search of high-quality sufflower known as "Okegawa Benibana", bringing prosperity to the area. Every year in mid-June, the "Benibana Festival" is held as the main event of "Safflower Town Okegawa City".
