Introduction

Walking through the Aorimaseki River, you can enjoy a series of waterfalls of different sizes and tangled rocks, with the flow of the water sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle. Along the way is a pristine forest, composed of hinoki cypress, beech, and maple trees. The entire walking journey takes about five hours, but you can also choose to take a bus along the parallel national road for the experience. Additionally, there are bicycle rental services available at "Ko no Kuchi" and "Yakeyama" along the river, making it convenient to rent a bike and return it at the end of the walk.
