Nagano Waterfall & Outdoor Onsen Half-Day Private Tour
- Walk Behind a Thundering Waterfall Raimei Waterfall in Takayama Village lets you walk directly behind a rushing 30m-high cascade. Known as “Thunder Falls,” it’s one of Nagano’s most immersive nature spots.
- Scenic Forest Walk Along the Gorge Take a slow, scenic stroll through quiet woodland along the gorge. Surrounded by mossy rocks and clear streams, it’s a peaceful alternative to urban sightseeing.
- Secluded Outdoor Onsen at Shichimi Shichimi Onsen is tucked deep in the mountains, where milky sulfur-rich waters flow into a rustic open-air bath. The slightly acidic spring is known for easing fatigue, muscle pain, and improving skin health—a perfect end to your nature escape
