The Suspended Beauties of the Valley of the Mist

 

Located 450 meters above sea level in the mountainous regions of Nikko, the Unryu Keikoku waterfalls offer magnificent winter landscapes. With their ice statues and natural mist, they are one of the most popular spots for hikers. Discover the hidden treasure just two hours from Tokyo!

 

 

In summer, these are waterfalls like the others. Fed by precipitation, they enchant hikers who come to rest at their foot.

In winter, however, they turn into ice statues! A natural phenomenon that attracts more curious people is lovers of unusual hikes.
