Cruise through spectacular colors of autumn along a less traveled stretch of the beautiful Kinugawa River, and unwind in the atmospheric hot spring town of Kinugawa!
Kinugawa, located in the southwestern part of Nikko, is famous for its idyllic river and hot spring resort. What better way to see the beautiful fall foliage than to fully immerse yourself in it while enjoying exciting white water rafting and relaxing stand-up paddle boarding/SUP?
In the Nikko area, the Iroha-zaka winding road is an already well-known fall foliage tourist route. However, it is also known for its heavy traffic, which causes hours of delays every year at this time.
Don’t worry! We have a place for you to enjoy the autumnal mountains peacefully, and even more! On NAOC’s spectacular autumn foliage tour, not only will you avoid this traffic, but you will enjoy both rafting and paddle boarding with a professional river guide, a combination we offer only on this tour. Afterwards, as a luxurious treat, we will have a restful private hot spring bath ready for you. For ages, Japanese people have valued bathing in hot springs to restore their health and it is still practiced for medical purposes (湯治 touji is a term used for this). We will show you some bathing etiquette, and give you the historical background of this area.

Fall is the perfect season to hop on a bike and make the most of cycling through the spectacular colors of the fall palate of the Nikko Mountains and Kirifuri Kogen, a scenic spot in Nikko National Park. Using a powerful electric mountain bike makes riding uphill more exciting, allowing you to go anywhere you want without getting tired at all! Of course, you can turn off the electric mode if you are an intermediate biker or want to challenge yourself. There are also natural private off-road MTB routes that are the best thrilling experience!
We will also encounter a majestic waterfall along the way. Kegon-no-taki is a well-known waterfall in Nikko, always surrounded by tourists, but this place is a hidden gem! Hop on to our adventurous, breathtaking, and wild cycling tour!
