Description

Overview

Walk through one of the purest spring-water environments, born from the volcanic slopes of Mt. Amagi. These crystal-clear streams have supported traditional wasabi cultivation for centuries, flowing gently over a smooth, single-slab riverbed polished by time. As you go deeper into the forest, you will enter Namesawa Gorge—famous for its vivid blue hue. The trail continues to the Great Taro Cedar, the largest cedar in the region. Standing for more than 450 years, this ancient tree has quietly watched the landscape evolve through generations. This short hike offers a rare opportunity to experience pristine water, deep forest beauty, and the living history of volcanoes on the Izu Peninsula
