[Hanatsuki Valley]
The view from the Shiomitaki Suspension Bridge spanning the gorge is magnificent. In autumn, the branches of the trees lush along the river extend out from both sides, allowing you to enjoy the vibrant autumn foliage, the clear waters of the Hananuki River, and the Shiomitaki waterfall!
[Fukuroda Falls]
Fukuroda Falls, measuring 120 meters high and 73 meters wide, is a major tourist attraction in Ibaraki Prefecture and is considered one of Japan's three most famous waterfalls. It is also known as "Shido-no-Taki" (Four-Stage Waterfall) because the waterfall cascades down a large rock face in four stages. One theory about the origin of this name is that when the monk Saigyo visited the waterfall, he said, "You cannot understand its true beauty unless you visit in each of the four seasons."
[Ryujin Suspension Bridge]
The Ryujin Suspension Bridge spans the Ryujin Dam, which dams the Ryujin River flowing through the V-shaped gorge of Ryujinkyo. The bridge is 375 meters long, making it one of the largest pedestrian-only bridges in Japan. It is 100 meters above the surface of the dam lake, and from the bridge you can enjoy panoramic views of the scenery throughout the seasons. The walls on both sides of the bridge are adorned with paintings of dragons, creating a design that evokes the image of dragons soaring through nature.
