Shinano Nature Walkway Asama Highland Route

This bracingly refreshing nature walking route runs about 10km from the peak teahouse to Mikasa following the clear stream of the Yukawa river, and threading its way through Japanese white birches. There is also well-maintained strolling courses and swimming areas that lead to Kose through Shiraito Falls, Ryugaeshi Falls, and Karuizawa Recreation Forest.
