Step into the little-known mountain paradise of Nara – [Amagawa Village], away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and experience the natural scenery interwoven with clear streams, ancient shrines and mountain beliefs.
First, visit the ancient Amakawa Daibenzaiten Shrine, one of the three major Benzaiten families in Japan, to pay homage and experience its rich history, culture, and spiritual atmosphere. Afterwards, head to Mitarai Valley, where you can freely stroll along streams, suspension bridges, and forest trails, admiring the stunning canyon scenery typical of the Kinki region.
In the afternoon, you can visit Menbudo Cave and take a ride on the adorable monorail to explore the mysterious underground world. If the cave is closed due to equipment maintenance, weather, or other unforeseen circumstances, you can instead enjoy free time at Togawa Onsen Town and Ryusenji Temple to experience the Showa-era hot spring town and Shugendo culture.
Whether you enjoy natural scenery, light hiking, or want to delve deeper into the hidden culture of Nara, you're sure to create unforgettable memories on this trip.
[Important Notes for Attractions]
- Please be careful on the hiking route: Mitarai Valley is a natural valley trail, and some sections are mountain paths and steps. Please wear non-slip and comfortable shoes to avoid slipping and falling.
- Significant weather impact: The valley and limestone cave areas are significantly affected by the weather. On rainy days, the roads may be slippery or some areas may be temporarily restricted. Please refer to the on-site safety signs.
- Please make good use of your free time: Each attraction is open for independent visits. Please return within the designated meeting time. Being late may affect the subsequent itinerary arrangements.
- Please bring a jacket as there is a significant temperature difference: the temperature in the stalactite cave is around 8℃ year-round, and it is cool even in summer, so please prepare a light jacket; the temperature difference between day and night in the valley is also quite noticeable.
- Explanation of the optional tour: Dongcheon Onsen Street/Ryūsenji Temple and Myon-dōbu Limestone Cave are optional tours. If the limestone cave is closed or its operation is adjusted, the tour itinerary will be adjusted accordingly.
