The Road of the ExperienceThe north area, located in the West Chugoku Mountains National Monument, has many natural attractions such as valleys and waterfalls created by abundant water flows, and steep slopes.

One of the three major valleys of the West Chugoku Mountains National Monument. It has a lot of highlights, with "the Goryu no taki" falls - a member of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan. Mt. Jyakuchi, the highest mountain in Yamaguchi Prefecture (1,337m above sea level) actually has a relatively easy course to the summit, in about an hour, from the starting point. While listening to the murmuring of the swamp, the deep greens and autumn leaves and moistening of your throat in spring water (life extension water) can win your love.
