Together with "Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyu-geshiki", the song is Ishikawa's most popular from her career. By the song, Ishikawa was nominated for the 28th Nippon Record Taisho Award (Japan Record Award 日本レコード大賞) in 1986 but she did not win the award.[3] As of 2020, Ishikawa has sung Amagi-goe twelve times at the annual NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
There is a monument commemorating the song in front of the Jōren Falls in Amagi, Shizuoka Prefecture.
The song is not directly linked to the novella of the same title by Seichō Matsumoto nor to the movie of the same title based on the novella, which was released in 1983.[4]
