[Nikkawa Line]
The "Nikkawa Line" is a deep valley extending from Nikka Whiskey Brewery to Oku-Nikkawa Station on the JR Senzan Line. A natural walkway of the "Nikkawa Line" is about 5 kilometers long which takes 2 hours and this is where people can enjoy the scenic beauty of the valley. Water flows down from various sizes of cascades and falls such as Sanjo-Otaki Falls, and Nunobiki-daki Falls which form fast flowing rapids. These reflect the crisp green leaves in spring and the rich red leaves in autumn which further adds to the scenic beauty of the valley. This area is full of hikers and Imonikai (Taro Potato Party) goers during the spring and autumn seasons.
