Minokamo Health Forest Park

Reviewed By judashoffmann

There is a BBQ facility and a restaurant in the main area with food, and kids playing slides which looks like fun. The hiking treks are pretty serious, a few hours at least, and a small hike up a mountain (Mt. Ontake?) with great views, photos of which I attach!

From the Source to the mouth of Nagara River The tank reproduces the scenery of Nagara River from its upstream to the river mouth. It is so real that it seems as though it’s been cut out from the actual scenery. We have reproduced the waterfall and the gorge at the river source. Enjoy this serene atmosphere; a perfect getaway from hectic city life. The Living Creatures in Asia and Africa Go out on an adventure and explore the world.

Osakacho Waterfalls

Reviewed By myuyama0611 - Nagoya, Japan

We participated in Frozen Waterfalls Tour. The tour was well organized and guides were very professional and helpful and they speak English as well. Since there were no other participants, it ended up being a private tour for us 7 people including non-Japanese. We walked in the bush for 2.5 hours, reached one of Frozen Waterfalls, had lunch while enjoying the view for 1 hour, and came back over 2 hours. Guide Kuma-san continually walked around even during our break, checking the route conditions and trying to show us better views. Guide Kome-san constantly checked if everything was going well and delighted us and took many photos during the tour. Guide Kuma-san always checked the safety from the end of the line and provided support for each of us. Even though one of our members twisted her ankle on the way back, they managed calmly,treated her ankle quickly and we could comeback safely in a relaxed atmosphere. We have participated in their tour several times including summer shower climbing in summer, they always provide safe and fun tours. There are more than 200 waterfalls in Osaka located between Gero and Takayama. If you have a chance to visit Gero or Takayama, we would definitely recommend to join one of nature tours! It's one of secret spots with very few tourists in Japan! The scenery was mind blowing.. fresh snow glittered in the morning light, melted snow drop shining through trees on the way back..and we enjoyed every minute of it. I will never forget the scenery and the memorable moment in my life.
