Hiking Trails
Nishizawa Gorge, nestled within Yamanashi's Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, is celebrated for its emerald streams and a series of waterfalls, notably the five-tiered Nanatsugama Godan Falls, recognized among Japan’s top 100 waterfalls. The 10 km loop trail offers an intermediate-level hike, tracing the Fuefuki River through lush forests and past unique rock formations like the frog-shaped Kaeru Ishi. The route features chains and wooden steps for safety, with the descent following a gentler former forestry rail path. Particularly popular during the autumn foliage season, the trail is closed from December to late April due to winter conditions
