Ashiu rainforest on the island of Japan

Ashiu Rainforest on the island of Japan In the summer like this, it is very suitable for those who like hiking, climbing, adventure, especially those who like nature. This is a forest for trekking and hiking because there are many adventure routes both up and down the mountain. But getting here is not easy. Another thing is that we have to buy a ticket to enter the area first (like entering a national park) because this place is a research center of nature at Kyoto University. But if you contact to buy a ticket to enter the forest here, you can ask for a guide. In addition, there is a river that the government allows both domestic and international tourists to come. You can also legally stay overnight by the river and fish in the river. Getting there (from Kyoto) ▪Trains and buses from Hiyoshi Station You can take the JR Sagano Limited Express (Sanin Line) from Kyoto Station to Hiyoshi Station (about 45 minutes, 760 yen), which requires a transfer at Sonobe. Once you arrive in Hiyoshi, take the Nantan Bus to Miyama (50 minutes, 610 yen), or sometimes there is a bus from Sonobe to Miyama. Check the route again before you leave. ▪Takao Bus via the mountains From Kyoto Station, take the JR Bus bound for Takao, but get off at Shuzan (90 minutes, 1,180 yen). From here, there is a Nantan Bus that will take passengers to Miyama (30 minutes, 460 yen). #TravelJapan #japan #Kyoto #TravelMie #Ashiu
