Tour Start (Approx. 3 hours)
Walk along Shikotsu Lake to Kaedezawa Moss Corridor, a 10m-high dry gorge with over 80 moss species. Recognized as a "Precious Moss Forest of Japan" in 2014.
Pass Under Kaede Bridge and Enter the Dry Stream
Though there’s no water, you’ll walk along a gravel path, navigating around or under fallen trees. The flat terrain makes it surprisingly easy to walk!
Be Amazed by the Natural Beauty of Moss
Sunlight filters through the 10m-high gorge, illuminating moss-covered rocks and trees. Around 80 moss species thrive here, creating a stunning, otherworldly scene.
