If you'd like to get out and enjoy the beauty of the Japanese countryside, then this hiking course in Tochigi is perfect if you're anywhere near Tokyo, or especially Nikko. The course, called the Kinugawa Ryuokyo Hiking Course, starts from Ryuokyo Station on the Noiwa Tesudo Line and is composed of paths winding their way through the forest above the twisting Kinugawa river. You can keep going until you reach the next station (4.5 hours), or double back and return to the starting point (2.5 hours) enjoying the view from the other side this time.
