    Tottori Yazu-gun Chizucho Ashizu
    A valley in Hyonosen-Ushiroyama-Nagisan Quasi-National Park. Located in Chizu Town, at the prefectural border with Okayama Prefecture, you can enjoy activities like forest therapy, hiking, camping, and fishing for yamame trout in the old growth forest of the valley. Formed by the Kitamata River (a tributary of the Sendai River), the diverse landscape has steep cliffs running down both sides of the valley. Lots of boulders have fallen from the cliffs and accumulated on the riverbed. The contrast of colorful autumn leaves with the natural cedar evergreens is a sight to see. 21-meter high Mitaki Falls is shrouded in forest and has been revered as a god of rain since ancient times.
