Maniwa: Kamba Falls and the Linen Curtain Town of Katsuyama with Yuhadha Hot Spring Foot Bath Stroll

A full-day course to completely experience the nature and townscapes of Maniwa City in northern Okayama Prefecture. In the morning, immerse yourself in retro classrooms at the Former Senkyō Elementary School (旧遷喬尋常小学校), an Important Cultural Property wooden school building, then leisurely stroll through the Katsuyama Townscape Preservation District (勝山町並み保存地区) where grass-dyed linen curtains adorn the eaves, and enjoy a traditional folk house lunch. In the afternoon, visit Kamba Falls (神庭の滝), a spectacular waterfall about 110 meters high acclaimed as the most impressive in the Chugoku region. The roar of the gorge and the refreshing mist of new growth is a must-experience for nature lovers. Stop by the Hanzaki Center (はんざきセンター) to observe the giant Japanese salamander, a Special Natural Monument, then finish your journey in the Yuhadha Hot Spring town (湯原温泉街) with a free foot bath stroll. Waterfalls and gorges, creatures of clear rivers, and hot spring ambiance—an indulgent trip where you'll experience Maniwa's abundant nature with all five senses.
