Known as one of Japan's most beautiful rivers, the Atera is often overlooked by hikers on the Nakasendo Trail as it is just off the trail, making this a hidden gem. Your private guide and support driver will lead you to this peaceful spot after hiking from Nagiso to Nojiri, so you can cool your feet in the crystal-clear water and enjoy some afternoon refreshments by the river. Time and energy permitting, a short 15-minute walk further along the trail offers spectacular views of the rugged Atera Gorge, adding another highlight to your Nakasendo adventure.
