The Emerald Waters of NISHIZAWA GORGE // Hiking Japan's Hidden Gem in the Mountains

Hidden in the mountains of Kofu, Yamanashi are the startlingly beautiful, tumbling waters of the Nishizawa Gorge. Join me on a hike in late spring, when the foliage is young and tender, suffused with a gentle green that perfectly compliments the emerald waters.

Getting here:
From Shinjuku, take the Chuo or Keio lines to Takao, then continue down the Chuo to Enzan Station in Yamanashi. A bus from here takes you to the trailhead at Nishizawa Keikoku Iriguchi bus stop (西沢渓谷入口).

Yeah it's pretty sick. This was mid-late May, think it's a pretty good time for it if you are ever around town!
