Yamanaka Hot Spring: Tsurushoji Valley Walk via Korogi Bridge and Ayatori Bridge
A romantic two-person itinerary through Yamanaka Hot Spring, beloved by poet Matsuo Basho, where you can leisurely appreciate the scenic beauty of the famous Tsurushoji Valley. Walk the tree-lined path along the gorge starting from the completely hinoki-constructed Korogi Bridge, listening to the babbling stream and resting at riverside tea houses. The picturesque Ayatori Bridge spanning in an S-curve and the lavishly decorated Yamanaka-za with its maki-e lacquerware and glossy finishes are just a short walk away. Conclude your day at Hayakano's Great Cedar, said to be 2,300 years old, surrounded by verdant nature that makes you want to take a deep breath.
