Nishizawa Valley Promenade

It is located at the entrance of the Kanizaka Tunnel, the northern gateway of Yamanashi Prefecture, and is also the entrance of the Nishizawa Valley, and the area around the station is certified forest therapy base and road. The fresh green (rhododendron) in spring, the autumn foliage are worth a look. The roadside station has a rest room, a snack corner, and an exhibition and sales office for specialty products, including 1kg700 yen for Gon-saburo miso, 2140 yen for red wine with Yama-Sorbinion, and 2140 yen for wild vegetables, vegetables and fruits (peach, grape) in the produce corner.

A great resting point with a view of the mountains across the other side. Also seeing large clusters of rhododendrons around May. Autumn foliage is also great.

The view of the waterfall looming in front of one after another is spectacular, in a valley where the clear stream slides wildly down the granite riverbed in a lush forest. The valley road along the mountain stream is a 30-minute walk from the Nishizawa valley entrance bus stop, and goes back from the Futamata suspension bridge to the left bank of the river. To see a variety of waterfalls and oddities, such as Mie no Waterfall, Ryugami Waterfall, Mother Abi, and Frog Rock, the climax leads to a spectacular Nanatsugama Five-dan Waterfall consisting of seven waterholes and five waterfalls. From here, the road moves to the opposite bank to the return course. Although it is a short distance from the ravine, it returns to the bus stop while looking at the former remains of the forest track, etc. About 9.5km per lap, 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours per lap. It is beautiful in mid-May, when a crowd of rhododendrons flowers, let alone during the period of fresh green and autumn leaves. The road is closed in winter.
