FROM GOJO
Tenkawa
River scenery, forest paths and a pause in a hot spring town. Leave room to enjoy the change of pace as you travel from town into the mountains.
A DAY DURING YOUR STAY
Water, mountain air and a day in Dorogawa
Focus on the area around Dorogawa Onsen. Combine a little walking with time to rest, rather than trying to fit every cave and gorge into one day.
01 · Morning
Walk through Dorogawa
Explore the streets of inns and shops, then spend some time beside the river.
02 · Lunch
Take a break in town
Have lunch and decide whether a cave visit or a hot spring suits your afternoon.
03 · Afternoon
Choose a cave or a hot spring
Visit Menfudo Cave if you want to keep exploring, or check the available day-use baths for a quieter afternoon.
04 · Back at yoinn
Settle in for dinner
Allow plenty of time for the mountain roads. Back in Gojo, prepare dinner or head out to a nearby restaurant.
Planning your day
Plan a Mitarai Gorge walk separately from this Dorogawa-focused day. Check trail conditions, weather and bath opening information before leaving.
An example for a day during a multi-night stay, travelling from Gojo by car. Meals, transport and admission are arranged and paid for separately. Adjust the route to the weather and your pace.
