Enjoy a day trip that uncovers another facet of Tokyo, making for an unforgettable day of your journey. A small adventure through clear streams and forests leads you to a secret waterfall.
Enjoy lunch on chairs by the stream with our special sandwich, savoring the serenity away from urban life. This moment of leisure is a precious break for those weary of the city.
In spring, you can visit the village of Otsu, enveloped in pink blossoms, resembling a paradise. This scenic beauty is a treasure of the area, created by locals planting each cherry and azalea tree.
Wearing special waterproof gear, you will splash through the streams of a tributary of the Akigawa River, a place ordinary tourists never visit, in search of a secret waterfall.
Among them is a suspension bridge known for its autumn foliage. After parking your bicycle nearby and walking across this bridge, you'll pass through a forest path to arrive at the hot springs.
