Walking Map
The nation's first full-scale high-altitude training facility, boasting a 6-lane, all-weather 400m track and a 500m wood chip running course at an altitude of 1,700m.
Within the Hida-Mitake Highland Training Area, a facility designated as a National Training Center High-Altitude Training Enhancement Base Facility by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, one of only two in Japan.
The entrance is located halfway down the slope from the training center to Panorama Ground. Look for the blue flags indicating the Osakasaka Waterfall Tour.
Some parts are steep, so this course is for those with strong legs. The lumbering waterfall (23m) you reach is a powerful cascade. The spray feels refreshing!
A walking trail approximately 1 km in length that winds through a natural forest in the subalpine zone. There are three entrances/exits: near the fork by the Nigori River Onsen town and the training center, in front of Hyutte Mori no Nakama, and near the entrance to the Mt. Ontake hiking trail. If you are parking, please use the nearest municipal parking lot.
A magnificent plunge waterfall with a drop of 20m. A boardwalk of about 80m leads from the Hyutte forest friends' clearing to the observation deck.
