Conclude Your Day With an Evening Riverside Stroll at the Doi River

About this spot

A riverside park developed along the Doi River, a tributary of the Niyodo River, with the charm of being able to descend right to the crystal-clear stream. Located near the Ikegawa Tea Garden Workshop Café visited earlier, it's the perfect place to unwind as a conclusion to your gorge explorations. In the evening, the sun's rays sparkle across the river surface, and as you listen to the water gently flowing over the shallows, the weariness of a full day of walking gradually melts away. The park features flower beds and open spaces where you can leisurely enjoy seasonal flowers, the clear stream, and the crisp mountain village air—a cherished spot for local residents.

Tips

The park has parking and restroom facilities. Rocks by the river become slippery when wet, so watch your footing. Mountain chill sets in early in the evening, so bring a layer to stay comfortable. It's recommended to depart for the return drive before dark.
