Yuda Onsenkyo Prefectural Natural Park

The park is full of lakes and hot springs, including Yuda Dam, which was built in the middle of the Waga River, and its reservoir, Lake Kinshu, as well as hot springs such as Yumoto and Yukawa. Lake Kinshu is the largest man-made lake in the prefecture, and during the autumn leaves season, vivid brocade patterns are reflected on the surface of the lake, and National Route 107 is a perfect driving course. Best time to see autumn leaves: Early October to late October

Wagadake

At an altitude of 1,440 meters, Mt. Wagadake retains valuable natural beauty such as primeval beech forests and clumps of alpine plants. Because the mountain is steep, there are few climbers, so it is full of freshness. The view is good, and on a clear day you can see the mountain range far into the distance. Just looking at the crystal clear water flowing from the headwaters of the Waga River will soothe your soul.
