From Kinugawa: Ouchi-juku Thatched Village Customizable Tour From Kinugawa: Ouchi-juku Thatched Village Customizable Tour, 5-6 Guests

Hotel pickup in Kinugawa or Kawaji Onsen. Visit the thatched post town of Ouchi-juku, the Tonohetsuri cliffs and thatched Yunokami Onsen Station.
We pick up your group at your hotel in Kinugawa Onsen or Kawaji Onsen at 09:00. Today we drive north along the Kinugawa River into Fukushima, to an Edo-period post town that still has its thatched roofs.

The drive takes about 1 hour 15 minutes through mountain valleys. On the way we stop at the Ryuokyo Gorge viewpoint, where the river cuts through green rock.

Around 10:30 we arrive at Tonohetsuri. The river has carved tall cliffs into tower shapes over a million years. Cross the small suspension bridge and walk under the overhanging rocks.

Around 11:30 we reach Ouchi-juku. About 30 thatched houses line one wide street, as they did for travellers 300 years ago. Walk up the steps at the end of the street for the classic view down over the roofs. For lunch, try negi soba, eaten with a long green onion instead of chopsticks. Halal food is not guaranteed. You have about 2 hours here.

Around 13:45 we visit Yunokami Onsen Station, a small railway station with a thatched roof and an open fire inside. There is a free foot bath next to the platform.

Around 14:30 we drive back south, with a stop at Lake Yunishigawa viewpoint or a roadside farm shop. You arrive at your hotel at about 17:00.

Your plan is customizable: on the day, your group can change the stop order, stay longer in Ouchi-juku, skip the gorge viewpoint, or swap in a nearby place such as the Kaiten-sansho waterfalls or Nakayama Falls. Changes stay along this route and within about 8 hours.

This is a private tour. Only your group. Your driver-guide is with you all day.

If the road to Ouchi-juku is closed on your date because of heavy snow, your driver-guide takes you to a similar place nearby instead. The tour price does not change. If you prefer, we can instead visit Ryuokyo Gorge and the Yunishigawa Onsen village.
