Mitarai Valley

Down below, a pool of emerald water glitters mystically in the Mitarai Valley. The clear waters flow down along waterfalls of various sizes and snake around large crags. You'll find playground equipment on the banks and a suspension bridge for viewing the falls from high above. A site full of breathtaking views! Visiting this dynamic gorge is sure to deliver a beautiful thrill. (Image provided by Tenkawa Village)
