      <image:caption>Summer in Kiso is the best time for an unforgettable outdoor adventure; the unspoiled landscape is breathtakingly green and feels as though it is humming with life. Kiso enjoys Summer temperatures of 13–29ºC making it an ideal place to escape the heat and humidity of the major cities. These temperatures allow visitors to comfortably walk, hike and cycle all day long. The area is also home to many lakes and rivers, perfect for canoeing and camping. The climbing season officially commences in mid-July and treks of varying difficulty are available for beginners and experts alike. Summer in Japan is traditionally festival season; a great opportunity for visitors to join the locals and parade, dance, light fireworks and enjoy traditional cuisine and culture.

      <image:caption>The Nagano prefecture came into the public eye when it hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics.  It is considered one of Japan’s best Winter sports regions with over 100 ski resorts. The Kiso Ontake resorts are undiscovered gems, perfect for those looking for quieter runs and minimal chairlift queues. With temperatures between -4ºC and 7ºC, blue skies and star-filled nights, winter is spectacular in Kiso. The horizon features the iconic snow capped peaks of Mt. Ontake, Japan’s second largest volcano after Mt. Fuji. Closer to ground are the picturesque traditional post-towns of the Nakasendo trail, which look particularly stunning with snow topped rooves and trees. The low temperatures make the natural hot spring experience even more enjoyable after a busy day on the slopes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - SPRING</image:title>
      <image:caption>As Winter’s snow melts into waterfalls and rivers, Spring bursts to life in Kiso. This season is synonymous with the iconic cherry blossom, a fleeting beauty said to be a symbol of life itself. Kiso’s high altitude means that cherry blossom appears a little later than in other towns on the same latitude – around mid to late April. These conditions also make for an extended snow season; the ski resorts of Mount Ontake remain open into April. As temperatures climb toward 20ºC, Kiso’s landscape grows more beautiful each day and is best appreciated by walking, hiking or cycling around the area. After a long day exploring, join the locals in a relaxing soak at one of the many natural hot springs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The forested hills of Kiso turn a wondrous display of red, green and gold in Autumn and the clear night skies provide incredible stargazing experiences. Temperatures range from 1ºC to 25ºC so visitors can enjoy outdoor activities including mountain trekking, which is possible until mid-October. It is a picturesque time to walk the Nakasendo Trail and learn the history of the ancient Edo routes. Since those feudal times, the Kiso Valley has been a famous timber region, producing all kinds of building materials, furniture, instruments and woodcraft. Many local artisans still operate today, even offering workshops so visitors can experience these traditional methods. Watch Youtube: Click here&gt;&gt;</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kiso Fukushima - Kiso Fukushima</image:title>
      <image:caption>During the Edo-period, Japan was ruled by a Samurai class who held power by keeping the families of Japan’s feudal lords hostage in Tokyo. The lords were required to visit regularly via trails such as the Nakasendo, ensuring they didn’t have the time to rebel and start an uprising. Four security barriers were constructed to monitor traffic in and out of Tokyo in search of weapons. Kiso-Fukushima was one of the Nakasendo post towns as well as one of the four security checkpoints, thus it flourished as a political and economic centre in the Kiso Valley. The distinct Edo-style buildings throughout town, in particular those lining the banks of the Kiso River, are a picturesque reminder of this history. The checkpoint itself has been restored and now contains many fascinating relics of the Edo period including a display of documents, maps and weapons. The checkpoint master’s former residence is nearby and can easily be visited.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Otaki Village - OTAKI VILLAGE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ancient Japanese beliefs are rooted in nature worship, so it was widely believed that mountains were the meeting place of heaven and earth. As Mount Ontake is Japan’s second largest volcano, it is a centuries old destination for religious pilgrims to pray and be purified. Otaki village, located 40 minutes from Kiso-Fukushima, lies at the foot of Mt. Ontake and has a history of accommodating the pilgrims travelling to the area. Some of the mountain trails run directly from the village making it a convenient starting point. The region is 97% forested and home to pure mountain streams and lakes which visitors can explore via canoe. The village itself lies on the banks of the Otaki river with a warm and kind community of approximately 800 residents. The area has a quiet, laid-back atmosphere that makes for a perfect escape into nature.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Magome-Tsumago - Magome - Tsumago</image:title>
      <image:caption>The trail between Magome and Tsumago is a well-preserved section of the former Nakasendo trail. The walk is easy to moderate and well signposted in English. It is roughly 8km long and takes approximately three hours to complete at a leisurely pace. The trail leads through the countryside, past the homes and fields of local residents, occasionally intersecting with the road where hikers must walk along asphalt for short portions. A walk along the Magome–Tsumago trail is an essential part of any visit to the Kiso Valley. Note: the hike from Magome to Tsumago involves less uphill walking than the opposite direction. For those travelling with baggage, the tourist information centres of Tsumago and Magome offer a ¥500 per item luggage forwarding service between the towns. Simply drop your luggage at either information centre between 8:30 – 11:30am and pick it up at the other town’s information centre after 1pm.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Yabuhara-Narai - Yabuhara - Narai</image:title>
      <image:caption>Narai post town marks the half-way point between Kyoto and Tokyo on the former Nakasendo trail. This section of the trail (the Torii Pass) is particularly strenuous so travellers often needed to stop and rest here. As a result, Narai grew to be one of the most prosperous towns in the Kiso Valley and received the nickname ‘Narai of a Thousand Houses’ due to the sheer abundance of guesthouses. The Torii pass hike is 8.5km long and takes roughly 2.5 hours to complete. It is said to be quieter than the Magome–Tsumago stretch but nonetheless beautiful. The trail heads uphill from Yabuhara, past shrines and Mount Ontake views before gradually descending into Narai. The charm of the Edo era remains in Narai today as many of the buildings have been carefully restored to their former glory and now contain guesthouses, restaurants and souvenir shops. Two former residences are open to the public, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest - AKASAWA NATURAL RECREATION FOREST</image:title>
      <image:caption>Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest tells a fascinating story. Spread over 700 hectares in the mountains southwest of Agematsu, it has been coveted for its Kiso cypress trees since the Edo period. During that time, the Owari clan placed strict limitations on timber use, however in the late 1800s, the imperial family took control and began logging the area. Railroads were built to transport the precious cypress which famously came to be used for rebuilding structures such as Ise-jingu, the most sacred shrine in the nation.  As domestic timber use declined in the 1960s, a re-conceptualisation of national forests took place across the nation and Akasawa Forest was designated Japan’s first ‘National Recreation Forest’ in 1970. ‘Forest bathing’ was first proposed here in 1982, which instructed visitors to absorb the atmosphere of the woodlands for its various health benefits.  Akasawa forest is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Japan and also makes the list of ‘one hundred most fragrant scenic areas’ compiled by the Environment Ministry. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along its many trails at any time of year, though the colours of summer and autumn are particularly breathtaking.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On the banks of the Kiso River, you’ll find the town’s free public foot bath steaming with natural hot spring water. After a long day exploring the town or hiking the surrounding mountains, there is no better way to soothe your tired legs. Once your muscles are relaxed, be sure to try walking across the reflexology stone path for additional treatment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Otaki-village is located in the deep mountains. At the foot of the sacred Mt. Ontake, you will find lake Shizenko at the upper stream of Otaki river. Shizenko is a lake which was formed by a natural earthen dam after a large earthquake in 1984. It was a beautiful valley deep in the forest before the earthquake. Withered, skeletal trees stand in the lake's waters, creating a scene of serenity and sacredness.</image:caption>
