Nakatsugawa Canyon, located within the Bandai-Asahi National Park in Kitashiobara Village, offers a stunning natural escape. This 10-kilometer-long canyon features waterfalls, rapids, dramatic cliffs, and primeval forests, creating a secluded atmosphere perfect for hiking and nature appreciation. The best time to visit is during the autumn foliage season for vibrant colors. Note that the trails to the river can be steep and may not be suitable for everyone. Parking is available at the Nakatsugawa Canyon Rest House, from which the canyon is a short walk. Be aware of possible bear and monkey sightings along the trails.
