Mitarai Valley

(30)

Mitarai Valley's main attraction is its waterfalls, both large and small. Some of the most famous waterfalls include Hikari no Taki (Waterfall of Light), with a drop of approximately 10m, Otaki (Great Falls), with a drop of approximately 20m, and Mie no Taki (Mie Falls), with a drop of approximately 30m.
Mitarai Valley's clear, emerald-green streams and numerous oddly shaped and gigantic rocks create a dynamic landscape. The view of the valley from the approximately 31m-long, 21m-high suspension bridge is particularly thrilling and spectacular.
Mitarai Valley's appeal lies in its natural beauty, which changes with the seasons. Each time you visit, you'll see a different side to the mountain: sparkling new greenery in spring, beautiful river azaleas splashing against the water in summer, a gorgeous autumn landscape of autumn leaves that seem to fall from the sky from the summit, and a winter landscape painting.
[Helpful Notes]
The trail has an elevation difference of 200m, and there are some uneven spots and steep stairs, so we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and clothing, such as sneakers.
