Hananuki Gorge

Hananuki Gorge

A stunning valley filled with waterfalls and clear streams. The main attraction is a 60-meter-long suspension bridge that becomes a "tunnel of maples" in autumn as the branches reach out from both sides. The sound of the rushing water below and the vibrant reds and oranges above create a meditative and beautiful hiking experience, making it one of the most popular autumn spots in the region.

Fukuroda Falls

Fukuroda Falls

Ranked as one of Japan’s three finest waterfalls, this dynamic 120-meter-tall cascade drops over four distinct stone tiers. Its beauty shifts dramatically through the seasons: vibrant greenery in spring, fiery maples in autumn, and a rare, mystical "ice fall" in mid-winter. The spray and roar of the water felt from the observation deck are a powerful testament to nature’s grandeur.

Tsukimachi Falls

Tsukimachi Falls

A unique "behind-the-waterfall" experience where you can actually walk into a cave behind the falling curtain of water. Watching the sunlight filter through the greenery and the water is a mystical experience. Next to the falls is a charming restaurant where you can enjoy fresh buckwheat noodles and natural shaved ice, making it a perfect spot for cooling off and healing in nature.
