[2025 Semboku Attraction] Travel Guide for Dakigaeri Valley (Updated Apr)

#郊遊 #100 Kinds of Traveling Ways I traveled to Senboku and Kakunodate in Akita Prefecture during my free trip to Tohoku, Japan. I found that the locals brought their families to #郊遊 點 #抱返川谷 on weekends. The valley trails along the mountains and rivers have phytoncides and forest bathing, as well as suspension bridges and waterfalls, and shrines to visit. It is very suitable for a walk. From early October to early November, it is the autumn leaf season in the Kakufu Valley. During the event, there are shuttle bus services from Kakunodate Station and Tazawako Station, as well as valley walks, performances, vendors, etc. This time it happened to be the end of the autumn leaf season, and we could still feel a large number of local people coming to the Baofan Valley for an outing. The Baofan Valley gave me the feeling that it was a bit like the Shakadang Sermon in Taroko. The deep blue stream cuts through the steep cliffs on both sides to form strange rocks, which is a very special natural landscape. It passes by the Miko Stone, Baofan Shrine, the God's Rock Bridge, the Tunnel Cave, the Vow Bridge, and the Looking Back Tong. The entire journey is 1.5 kilometers and the round trip takes about 1 hour, which is quite approachable. #JapanTohokuFreeTravel #Kakunodate #BaofanKeiku #Outing #100TravelWays

Japan🇯🇵 Northeast is in recent years quite a lot of people's choice 🥹 but it does not have many machines So more people will choose to enter Tokyo and then take JR over!! ️ Self-driving is also possible 🫶🏻 And we drive from Tokyo 🚗 up Akita Prefecture this time We went to the left to hold back to the valley 🤣 the weather in September is really good 👍🏻 Although there are no autumn leaves 🍁 but its lake view is really amazing Hold Back Valley is located at the middle stream of the Tamagawa River that flows through Lake Tazawa and Kakukan 💁🏻‍♀️ It is about 10 kilometers long🤭 If you are driving from JR Kakukan Station Station about 15 minutes 🙆🏻 ♀️ It actually belongs to the Tazawa Lake Holding Back in the Yuri Prefectural Nature Park The name seems to be because the mountain road is too narrow and tourists need to hug to successfully pass through Deni 😆😆 However, nowadays the tourist promenade is well planned 🫶🏻 so it is very easy to walk Everyone can take a walk along the river🫡 Its about 1.5 kilometers long hiking trail only takes 30 minutes to walk🙊 So it's actually very relaxing And the drop is basically not too big 🥰 is a very suitable for beginners hiking route! ️ The Shinyan Bridge completed in 1926 is the oldest suspension bridge in Akita Prefecture 🤣 It is a red suspension bridge with a total length of about 80 meters 🫡 You can see the panoramic view of the valley on the bridge 🙆🏻 ♀️ It is a must-take photo spot for everyone😆 But the most unavoidable thing must be to miss the cobalt blue stream 🥹 holding back the valley. It really makes nothing to say 🥰 The hot spring water here is rich in aluminum 🙊 so it will emit blue light It makes the river water seem very blue and brightly colored 🆗 If you will come to Tokyo to play for a long time but do not want to be in the city all the time So like Japanese🇯🇵 people will go out and play 3 days 2 nights is not bad!! ️ #Tokyo Attractions #FamilyGoods #GlobalTravel #JapaneseCooking #JapanAttractions #Japan #JapanTravel #JapanTravelStrategy #JapanShopping #FamilyGoods #FamilyTour #ParentFamilyTour #ParentDaily #NaturalScenery

#discoveryourownjapan #japantohoku #akita #dakigaerigeorge Dakigaeshi Valley is a popular tourist destination for both Japanese and foreign tourists. It is located in Semboku City, A Prefecture, Tohoku Region, Japan. The Tama River flows through the valley, which is a unique feature. In the fall, the river is bright blue. In the fall, the color of the river contrasts beautifully with the colors of the trees. In the summer, the green of various trees creates a refreshing feeling.

Very beautiful. I recommend hiking in the autumn. The red leaves contrast with the clear blue water. The water is very blue. I have never seen it anywhere else. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking. But the path is good, flat, easy to walk, no need to climb or stairs. There are few people, the atmosphere is very good, the air is very good. It is like walking in a mountain surrounded by big trees. There is a large parking lot in front for free. When I went, there was an event in front. There were many local products for sale. It was like a flea market selling local food. It was cute. If you like hiking and enjoying nature, don't miss this place.
