    Nagano Matsumoto-shi Azumi Shirahone Onsen
    "A six-minute walk from the Shirahone Onsen Tourist Information Center. This rock tunnel can be seen on the upper reaches of the river from the suspension bridge past Ryujin Falls. ""Yu"" means ""hot water"" or ""hot spring,"" and as the name of the Yu River implies, its waters contain an abundance of the same minerals found in the hot springs of Shirahone Onsen; this tunnel is presumed to have been carved out of the rock over countless years by the river's swift current. The limestone rock tunnel is six meters tall and 20 meters long. People are not allowed into the tunnel, but visitors can enjoy the stunning natural scenery of the tunnel and its surroundings from close by. Erosion control construction was conducted in 2018 due collapse and flood risks."

    Nagano Matsumoto-shi Shirahone Onsen
    A 90-minute bus ride from Shinshimashima Station and a one-hour drive from the Matsumoto Interchange. The Shirahone Onsen hot spring district is located on the northern side of Nagano Prefecture close to the border with Gifu Prefecture and is an excellent place to enjoy fall foliage. The best part is that you can enjoy the sight of mountains dyed orange, green, gold, and red and then enjoy a hot spring bath. In most years, the best time to see the foliage is from early to mid-October; the area's Katsura trees start changing color a little earlier. The scenery around Ryujin Falls and the Yukawa valley is particularly spectacular and these areas are recommended walking destinations.

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
