Like a tunnel of autumn leaves? A spectacular spot to view autumn leaves

[Hanakuki Valley] 📍Location: Ono, Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture Access Wano-iriguchi Bus Stop / Approximately 44 minutes on foot from Ibaraki Kotsu Bus Stop Kitakata Bus Stop / Approximately 48 minutes on foot from Ibaraki Kotsu Bus Stop Daishin-en-mae Bus Stop / Approximately 49 minutes on foot from Ibaraki Kotsu Bus Stop ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ This is what it looked like in early November last year. The maple leaves were still green. After crossing the approximately 60-meter-long Shiomi Falls Suspension Bridge, the lush red leaves growing along the river jut out on both sides, creating a gorgeous tunnel-like effect. While the leaves were green on this day, this spot is popular for its stunning views of bright red autumn foliage. #Ibaraki #AutumnFoliage #ScenicSpot #SuspensionBridge #ZeroYenTravel2025Autumn

[Hanakanuki Valley | Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture "A place where you can take a deep breath in autumn. A sea of autumn leaves overlooked from a suspension bridge"] — [Hanakanuki Valley] is a quiet valley in Takahagi City, northern Ibaraki Prefecture. In autumn, the entire mountain is covered in autumn leaves, making it one of the best hidden spots in the Kanto region for viewing autumn leaves. 🍁 Promenades along the mountain stream, a maple tunnel, and the famous [Shiomi Falls Suspension Bridge]‼ ️ The autumn leaves seen from here are a spectacular sight that even locals praise✨ It's a quiet place that doesn't feel like a tourist spot, and you can really feel like you're in nature🌿 ⸻ 📍[Location & Access] ・Address: Ono, Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture ・Access: About 40 minutes by bus from JR Joban Line "Takahagi Station" (Hanakanuki Valley Entrance bus stop) + 15 minutes on foot ・By car: About 20 minutes from Joban Expressway "Takahagi IC" / Free parking available (be careful of crowds during autumn foliage season) 🕰️[Best time to see autumn foliage] ・Usually: Early to late November (peaks around mid-November) 💰[Price] ・Free admission (free parking) ⸻ 🍁Recommended points • Spectacular view of autumn foliage from Shiomitaki Suspension Bridge  → A panoramic view of the autumn foliage valley from the top of the suspension bridge‼ ️It's also a very popular photo spot • A promenade lined with maple trees → The sound and scenery of the path as you walk through the fallen leaves is "autumn itself" • A collaboration between the murmuring of a mountain stream and autumn leaves → The quietness of being able to walk leisurely while being soothed by the sounds of nature is the charm • It's not crowded, so you can enjoy it at your own pace → Unlike famous spots in Tokyo, there are fewer people and it feels like a hidden gem✨ ⸻ 📸 Tips ・The best time to take photos from the top of the suspension bridge is "early morning to mid-morning" (avoid backlighting and the air is clear) ・If you want to take a photo of the entire valley, be aware of the depth of the autumn leaves with a "vertical composition" from both sides of the suspension bridge ・Trekking shoes or non-slip sneakers are safe (there are a lot of fallen leaves on your feet) ・There are few cafes and shops in the area, so it's a good idea to bring drinks and snacks with you ◎ ⸻ #Hanakanuki Valley #Ibaraki Autumn Leaves #Absolutely Free Trip
