Norikura 
Situated on the magnificent Skyline Road, the highest in Japan, this alpine village has some spectacular views, lots of hiking trails, summer skiing at Daisekkei, and a great collection of hot spring baths.
“I love Norikura. This is a place of great beauty, calm, and warm hospitality. Enjoy some light walking or mountain hiking then soak in the hot spring baths before tucking into a delicious home cooked dinner at your ryokan. Heaven!”
Alastair Donnelly, Director
Hiking highlights include trails leading to Sanbon-dake, where three waterfalls converge in one pool, and the paths to Zengoro-no-taki waterfall the beauty of which is often enhanced by the appearance of a glittering rainbow. In the autumn, the maple leaves create some wonderfully colourful vistas and in the summer look out for skunk cabbages in the grassy plains.
For the active, there are a number of cycling routes around the area or, for the more inactive, indulge in a relaxing rotenburo (outside hot spring bath) such as the ones in the Yukemuri-kan in the centre of the village.
Come to Norikura as the Japanese do - to escape the rush of the big cities, to take in some cool, clear mountain air and to soak in the revitalising hot springs.
