About this event

Head to Kitamata Valley in early autumn, where refreshing breezes make you forget the lingering summer heat! Stroll around Kitamata Hut, the base for climbing Mount Asahi, together with a mountain guide. From Koshido Pass (881.7m), the watershed between Ogawa and Kurobe River, to Kitamata Hut (700m), enjoy forest bathing while walking along a gentle downhill forest road. Along the way, enjoy a course packed with highlights such as lovely wild alpine plants, encounters with a 400-year-old giant tree, the thrilling experience of crossing a 12m-high suspension bridge, and talks about "Kitamata Dam," an attraction for dam enthusiasts. Families with children and mountaineering beginners can easily enjoy this tour. After descending the mountain, a meal at Rakuchino is included, where you can also refresh and wash off your sweat in a bath.
