“Let’s Take an Autumn Trip to Shosenkyo” Campaign


■Shosenkyo: Japan’s Most Beautiful Gorge—A Hidden Paradise of Clear Streams and Crystal-Clear Waters

[Japan Heritage: Shosenkyo’s Autumn Foliage]

Selected as the No. 1 gorge in the “Top 100 Tourist Destinations in Japan” and one of the “Top 100 Famous Waters of the Heisei Era,” Shosenkyo delights visitors with its vibrant scenery during the fall foliage season.

Shosenkyo, renowned for having Japan’s most beautiful gorge, derives its name from “Kakuen Peak,” its main peak. Long ago, Kakuen—a disciple of Zen Master Takuan—underwent spiritual training on its summit, which is large enough to lay several tatami mats.It is a scenic spot that has been awarded 1st place in the “Gorges” category of the “Top 100 Tourist Destinations in Japan” and 2nd place in the “Top 100 Scenic Views of the Heisei Era.”


*“Kakuen Peak” was formed by the weathering and erosion of granite; it is steep and rises vertically for approximately 180 meters. Designated as a National Special Place of Scenic Beauty, Mitake Shosenkyo is renowned as a prime spot for viewing autumn foliage.

Starting with Kakuen Peak, unusual rock formations can be seen everywhere within the gorge, and the autumn foliage in Shosenkyo reaches its peak from late October to mid-November.

◯ The Original “Inhalation Hot Spring”: Radon Hot Spring

A radon hot spring is a hot spring in which radon gas, maintained at a safe and consistent concentration, is introduced into the bath.

When absorbed into the body through bathing or breathing, it acts on cells throughout the body, promoting “cell activation,” “enhancement of natural healing powers,” “acceleration of metabolism,” and “improvement of immune function.” For this reason, radon hot springs are also popularly known as “inhalation hot springs.”At our facility, we use a radon generator set to 87 Mach—a concentration also used for medical purposes—to consistently provide a safe and stable radon hot spring experience.
