Hirayu Otaki

I wish for the form of the magnificent fall wrapped in vivid colored leaves imminently.

Hirayu Otaki located in about 1400 m of altitude is dynamic meibaku which takes pride in its gap 64m and width 6m. It's also named on Japanese 100 elections of fall and 50 elections of brand-name spring water of Gifu from its force and clear of the water.
The trees of the vicinity whole will begin to color at the beginning of October, and red of a vivid maple and a yellow gradation of a beech and a white birch color the fall which drops as well as a white splash of water. You can reach to Takimi view square by car, so it's also charm that you can walk along an esplanade and look at bold fall and colored leaves in several minutes.
Such as the "Hirayu Otaki freezing festival" which lights up the fall which froze over is also held in February every year, the landscape like the art nature interweaves every season can be enjoyed.

There is "Hirayu big NEZUKO" called an estimated age of the tree for 1000 years near Hirayu Otaki. The big tree in which I equal height 23m and 7.6m around the trunk makes them feel eternal time by highlights.

Shin-hodaka ropeway

I get a bird's-eye view of a great panorama of the north Alps and colored leaves from 2 story of gondola.

The "Shin-hodaka ropeway" in Shin-hodaka hot spring is a stoop of the mountains of the north Alps. When boarding the only 2 story gondola in Japan, a panoramic view of highlights spreads from a glazed car window completely.
That the whole mountain is being dyed colorful lacks for about 1 month, and is a mountain range with a vertical drop, well. That the green tree and the side in a mountain are able to meet red and the "three step autumnal tints" as the north Alps where I made the trees of the beech which colored and a maple and the snow-covered top yellow and was covered up in white in low land as autumn deepens.
After enjoying a walk in the air fully, I arrive at the western Hotaka mouth station of altitude 2,156m. 360 times of grand scenery 2 appear on "Michelin green guide snake pong" at a star is waiting at roof observatory. A walk area "forest in the top" opens in 2024, and how to enjoy oneself is also colorful.

Northern Alps big bridge

Bridge in the sky of the height 70m held by the scenery of the colorful mountain

The arch bridge where the height from the bottom of the valley is 70m and the magnificent scale as about 150 m of full length. The beautiful mountain landscape is the superb view point which approaches and comes in each season at the bridge where Nabehira park of Nakao high plain in Shin-hodaka hot spring and Shin-hodaka ropeway 2nd boarding point is tied.
A peak of colored leaves is at the middle of October. It's hypnotized by a natural gradation in which the various colors are intermingled with yellow, red, orange and brown against the background of Kasagatake and Shakujoudake (only staff).
It's also popular as a drive and a touring route, but it's possible to park a car and walk in Parking in the foot in a bridge. How about being satisfied with the sky walk while enjoying a contrast of the mountains of the clear sky of autumn and the finite colored leaves looked around?

Kamikochi

The excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves and the hike which flash at the mountain scenic area where Japan is outstanding

The mountain scenic area where Japan which is also designated as national cultural assets (special place of scenic beauty and special natural monument ) is eminent. A tourist as much as 1,200,000 people a year and a mountaineering visitor find the honest landscape which spreads over altitude 1,500m, and visit.
A leaf of Acer pictum and KOHAUCHIWAKAEDE will be dyed in orange and red on the esplanade to Myoujin'ike from a symbol in Kamikochi and around Kappa-bashi (KAPPA, when, with the selling point of) in colored leaves season. The multicolored colored leaves which look at grand Hotaka chain of mountains and Takezawa in a background are beauty by which a heart is investigated.
Namiki of a larch is late for about 1 week from the autumnal tints of the maple kinds, and colors simultaneously around Weston park, Tashiroike and Taishoike. In the gold with which KIRAKIRA is spangled when because it becomes yellow, a leaf of a larch "doesn't turn red", and is called "turning", and I'm bathed in the sunlight. When going hiking along Azusagawa, even the fallen leaf spread in a footing colors travel in autumn.

Utsue Shijuuhachidaki (putting by which I got depression and spread always)

It's flooded with the canyon's beauty of the flamboyant autumn concerning 13 waterfalls in a land of mystery.

"Utsue Shijuuhachidaki" in the vast prefectural natural park designated as a Gifu natural monument is a general term of the fall group forty-eight Takigawa who makes Takiue river of altitude 1200m a source produced in a valley in a land of mystery. Taki who drops throws spray, and has big and small 13, and when walking along a maintained esplanade, it's in a hike for about 1 hour when the tour of fall is enjoyed.
When November approaches, the trees of a maple and a beech color a ravine and dye abundantly, and excellent contest of fall and colored leaves is developed.
"Thanksgiving Day of autumn" is opened in the park on November 3 when colored leaves meet best time, and local specialty "some other place eight soup", local vegetables and a carpenter work equal. It's also recommended to relax in one-day visit hot spring around here "yuyuuyukan of spray" after walk.

Hida and Mino brook highway

The superb view spot is also fully loaded. The drive route where I run in the dynamic colored leaves

Long drive route of about 65 km of full length with which Takayama-shi Kiyomicho and Gujo-shi Hachiman-cho are tied. As the name as "brook highway", a refreshing drive as well as a clear flow on 3 rivers can be enjoyed. There are also a lot of highlights in the west URE mountain pass where a forest of a white birch and a larch is beautiful a high plain area in Meiho and a castle town in Gujo-Hachiman, and the scenery of the car window isn't tired.
I recommend the inside for time of the colored leaves in particular. A change in colored leaves can be tasted for about 1 month and a half as Hida Kiyomi and Gujo-Hachiman are getting off a little from a west URE mountain pass because there is about 700 m of vertical drop.
Hirataki who feels the width of a river is wide fully, hot spring full of feeling of opening and road station a gourmet matches can enjoy the drive of colored leaves by which a heart is also excited a side trip fully. Don't also miss an autumn festival at the ski area dyed in autumn scenery.

The dropping spot for which road station Meiho in the halfway on the brook highway (Surusumi's Sato park) is ideal. A fine horse "Surusumi (done finish)" image is a mark. Beauty by which the autumnal tints from here are also exceptionally. Meiho ham and rice dumplings-on-a-stick can be tasted.

Nakahashi (It's done half.)

I cross the red bridge lit up, and it's a walk at fantastic night.

If colored leaves are loved at a mountain city, it's to Nakahashi who has Miyagawa who flows through the center of the city. The crimson maple which flashes receives the sunlight in autumn, and colors a mountain, and a deep orange, the cherry tree colored leaves dyed yellow and a red bridge are conspicuous in the sky of autumn and are beauty which is to the extent I hold my breath.
When walking from Nakahashi a little, it's also dotted with a place famous for beautiful colored autumnal leaves Higashiyama esplanade, Amanoteri temple and Joyama park. A tunnel of the colored leaves covered with a maple over head at all can also be enjoyed.
When the sun sets, its circumference lights up with Nakahashi. The vicinity changes completely from a daytime crowd, and becomes calm silently, and only sound of water on a river is wrapped in the fantastic atmosphere which sounds. A red rail and the trees which color will be that the view which harmonizes will be a long night in the autumn which isn't forgot.
