About this spot
Hananuki Gorge in Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a spot loved for its beautiful natural scenery of lush greenery and clear streams. Well-maintained hiking trails let you stroll leisurely while listening to the murmur of the river and birdsong. The top attraction is the approximately 60-meter-long "Shiomi-taki Suspension Bridge." Standing on the bridge, you see the Shiomi Falls rushing down below and thick trees all around, giving the feeling of becoming one with nature. The autumn foliage season from mid to late November is a must-see. Maples with branches wrapping around the suspension bridge turn deep red, creating a magical "tunnel of red leaves." It is also recommended for drives with friends, dates with someone special, or quiet moments alone in nature. From the fresh greens of early summer to the vivid colors of autumn, it soothes visitors with the changing faces of the four seasons. Accessible as a day trip from central Tokyo, please visit this healing scenic spot that Ibaraki is proud of.
