Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hinohara is a mountain and valley village within Tokyo. Its waterfall and rocky gorge are separate stops with different footing: choose one suited to the weather and your ability.

This guide covers places within Hinohara, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Lower cascade of Hossawa Falls01

A first-visit stop

Hossawa Falls

払沢の滝

A streamside wooded path leads to this waterfall. The view from below shows part of a multi-tier cascade. Check rain, ice, slippery footing and restrictions; avoid scrambling onto edges or entering the water.

Getting there
Follow the path from Hossawa-no-taki-iriguchi bus stop; check your return bus first.

Rock gorge and water at Kanoto-iwa02

A first-visit stop

Kanoto-iwa

神戸岩

A Tokyo natural monument where a stream passes between steep rock walls. The gorge route uses ladders, chains and narrow footing, rather than a level path. Skip the gorge when conditions or your ability do not suit it.

Getting there
A separate walking approach is needed from Kanotoiwa-iriguchi bus stop.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Potatoes are a village specialty, including the long-grown Oine variety. Look for seasonal produce at farm shops after checking availability. Fields are not unrestricted visitor areas.
