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.

Takahagi City

Takahagi boasts a natural beauty woven from the sea, mountains, and stunning gorges. In autumn, the "tunnel of autumn leaves" viewed from a suspension bridge offers a dreamlike experience of vibrant reds and yellows. The town still retains traces of samurai residences and historic school buildings, evoking a sense of stillness as if time had stopped. From coastal camping to forest hiking, Takahagi is an area where you can experience the balance of "serenity" and "activity."

Kitaibaraki City

Located at the northernmost tip of Ibaraki, this city features a coastline so beautiful it inspired generations of artists. The "Rokkaku-do," a red hexagonal hall perched on the edge of the sea, was a place of meditation for the famous scholar Tenshin Okakura. The city is also the birthplace of "Ankou Nabe" (monkfish hot pot), attracting foodies every winter. Listening to the waves while soaking in a hot spring offers a deep sense of healing for the soul.
