New!  Hirayu Onsen  New!

We spent two nights at a small Japanese inn in Hirayu Onsen, where we enjoyed relaxing soaks in a private hot-spring bath and delicious Japanese meals. 

On the second day we spent all day hiking in Kamikochi, admiring the mountains and streams as well as the fall colors.  We also enjoyed fall colors in Hirayu Onsen and at Shin-Hodaka Ropeway on the next day. Here's an illustrated map that shows the relative locations of these destinations.
