Kumano Kodo, the first pass "Meki Pass" | Mie Prefecture

The photograph is just for reference.

Since ancient times, the Kumano Kodo has its origins in nature worship, where gods reside in rivers, waterfalls, and huge rocks. The first pass to cross on the Kumano Kodo is Meki Pass.

You can feel the history of the old road as you cut through the bedrock of phyllite. As a summer resort, you can enjoy picking edible wild plants in the spring, picking mushrooms in the fall, and winter sports in the winter.

The pool surrounded by nature was created by damming the river, and the water temperature is as low as around 20 degrees, making it cool and refreshing! Isn't it a great luxury to be able to play in the pool with natural clean water? There is also a free covered rest area and changing rooms, so you can spend a very comfortable time.

Superb view spot that became a movie location
``Togu Fudo Falls''|Mie Prefecture

Togu Fudo Falls is located in Minami Ise, which is rich in nature and has beautiful scenery. Togu Fudo Falls is said to have been a place where Shugen practitioners once practiced and prayed. By the waterfall, there is a small shrine dedicated to Fudo Myo-o, and on O-Fudo-san Day (28th of every month), people from the area visit the shrine. This place, which was also chosen as a movie location, is the best spot to feel cool.

Togu Fudo Waterfall. The waterfall, which splits a single large board, has a drop of about 15m. The abundant amount of water does not go away even in the winter when there is little rain. Just a superb view. It is a beauty that makes you want to look at it forever.

``Atera Valley'', a scenic spot you'll want to visit at least once|Nagano Prefecture

Atera Valley, with its beautiful emerald green, is located on the border of Gifu and Nagano Prefectures, about 45 minutes by car from Nakatsugawa Interchange. The beauty of the flowing water is so beautiful that it is called "Atera Blue" and "a breathtaking view you want to see before you die."

The secret to its beauty lies in the fact that there are no villages or dams nearby. Thanks to that, we have left the natural environment as it is. It is located in an inconvenient location compared to general tourist spots, but it is a place that you should visit at least once. It's very cool, so it's a perfect summer resort!
