Park園部町, Kyoto
Kyoto Prefectural Rurikei Natural Park
About
Escape the city crowds at this tranquil, forested ravine in Nantan, where a scenic river path winds past unique rock formations, waterfalls, and stone sculptures. It is an ideal spot for light hiking, offering beautiful autumn foliage and fresh mountain air alongside a local trout fishing pond. While there is a cozy cafe on-site, the real draw is the peaceful, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere.
Insider Tip
Combine your hike with a visit to the nearby Rurikei Onsen complex to soak in the hot springs and enjoy their outdoor glamping facilities.
