Japan certainly has its share of natural beauty. If you feel like a drive or motorcycle ride through some beautiful mountain scenery, Doushi Road is a lovely area within easy reach of Tokyo. I went there in mid April and was thrilled by the river views and the texture of the forest. The road is narrow and winding, so you need to drive carefully, but the views are worth it. If cycling on hills is your thing, it's a great place to take your bicycle. I saw several cyclists, and envied them!

Kanagawa's Doushi Road
Scenic beauty along a winding mountain road

Late blooming cherry trees beside a swiftly flowing mountain river
A small waterfall beside the road
The varied texture of spring in a mountain forest
Cherry blossoms were not the only flowers in bloom
White water though tree trunks
The river winds through the mountains
Just off the road, this beautiful waterfall
You can fill water bottles from this pure mountain spring beside the road

What a beautiful waterfall! I love hidden roads like this.
The bigger waterfall looks man-made, but it's still very pretty.
