Nagaragawa Onsen area is characterized by its closeness to the river and the mountain. Be an early bird to take advantage of this scenery. Lit by the sun rising from the mountain edge, the sky gradually changes its color while you are walking on the riverbank. Birds come down from the mountain and sing in the parks. The atmosphere of the backstreets in Kawara-machi is quite distinctive but rather secret. This route offers a variety of atmosphere to visitors.

Views from the north side of the river do justice to the beauty of the river and the mountain. When the day breaks, the dry riverbed turns white while the mountain emerges in black. You might see some boatmen washing their boats on the other side of the river. The riverside promenade restricts entry of cars so you can enjoy a calm and comfortable walk at your own pace.

※If you don't have breakfast at your hotel, Why don't you try a "Morning Service" at a nearby coffee shop? This service is very unique to this region because an order of a beverage comes with a complimentary set of food such as toasted bread and a boiled egg.
