Kusube Valley

Head a little further inland from Onsen Ojiron. This is one of the sources of the Yata River that flows into the Sea of ​​Japan, and refers to the area of ​​the upper reaches of the Kusube River at the foot of Hotoke-no-o (1,227m) mountain. There are many waterfalls, including Kaname Falls, Sandan Falls, Suzu Falls, and Arataki Falls. The remains of a gold mine that was dug in the early modern period still remain, and the waterwheels used to generate electricity at that time are still standing. You can also try stream fishing for yamame trout and amago trout in the deep natural surroundings. Please also enjoy Takimitei, where you can enjoy river fish dishes at the foot of the waterfall.
