Activities to experience the beauty of water
About an hour’s drive from Hiroshima City brings you to Yuki Town. This is where Ota River starts flowing. The clear water that reflects the trees shining in beautiful hues of green and blue is what characterizes our town Yuki. The sweetfish in the river is consistently recognized as one of the best kinds we have in Japan.
We are here to provide you with river trekking and hiking activities. The clear water of the river flows down through Hiroshima City and joins the Seto Inland Sea. Completing the cycle, the water turns into clouds in the sky and blesses us as it rains down on our woods and fields.
Becoming one
with the earth
We let the flow of the river take us downwards. Just let yourself float there. We hike the mountain all the way to its summit feeling the ground underneath our feet.
Breathing in the fresh air, we feel completely relaxed from the core of our body.
We take it for granted that we breathe and we live with other living things. This realization makes your life so much richer.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the cities and our daily routine, why don’t we let ourselves be embraced by nature and feel part of the earth we live on.
