It's August, and it's an hour away from the scorching hot city. Just by descending from the highway into the river behind Akigawa, the last clear stream in Tokyo, you will find yourself in another world with a surprising sense of secludedness and coolness. This summer, why not try a waterfall tour and a dip in the clear stream recommended by a guide, where you can feel the overwhelming coolness with your whole body at a special valley spot in Hinode Village that you wouldn't think is in the same Tokyo? This summer, enjoy the best "summer vacation for adults" that you can only experience here! Hinode Village, a village in Tokyo that is currently a hot topic. The area where the north and south Akigawa Rivers join (where the Hinode Village Office is located) is the center of Hinode Village, so to speak, but there are many hidden spots where you can enjoy the beauty of several waterfalls and valleys just in the area not far from there. A way to enjoy the charm of Hinode Village to the fullest is to "tour around the waterfalls". It is the most luxurious way to enjoy visiting several "waterfalls" that are pleasant even if you just visit one. However, it is easier said than done. There are few buses, few parking lots, and the directions to each waterfall are complicated, so even if you just look at a map and try to get around, it can be quite difficult... So! We have planned a special tour where you can use the village's rental bicycles (electric) to go around selected waterfalls and valley spots at a good pace, accompanied by a guide who knows the charms of the village well. This is a special tour available only in the summer, guided by a guide (Jinken) who lives in Hinode Village!

They react quickly to anything that moves and swallow them whole with their large mouths. There are many unusual names for fish, but the standard Japanese name "Oyanirami" is said to have been given because of the way the male protects the eggs, "the parent glares", but there are various theories about the origin of the Japanese name.

This is a special tour where a guide will take you to a secret firefly spot in the quiet Akigawa Valley at dusk. Come and see the miracle of natural fireflies dancing in the valley at dusk. A local guide will take you to a special place where natural fireflies dance along the clear Akigawa Valley, which you would never think is in Tokyo. The places we visit change slightly depending on the season, so they are not always the same. Taking into consideration the weather and temperature, the guide will carefully select the "spot where the fireflies are most likely to fly that day". All the necessary equipment will be provided at the back mountain base, so no special preparations are required. Let's go on a special night adventure that can only be done with a small number of people!
