Niyodo River, Amazing ‘Niyodo Blue’
The Niyodo River is often ranked as Japan’s most beautiful river, both for the purity of the water and its almost surreal cobalt blue color, nicknamed “Niyodo Blue”. The river is said to be ‘the mirror that reflects the heart of the people.’ and this long river has created not only beautiful waterfront scenery but also people’s lives with the water and culture of the area.
In the warmer months, you can canoe and swim in the river. In the fall, the surrounding nature erupts into reds, yellows, and oranges. Nearby is an onsen (hot spring) inn, called Yu-no-Mori, where daytrippers can also bathe in the natural hot spring.
Camping, glamping, kayaking, swimming and other river activities are also on offer along the Niyodo River, a sacred and beautiful part of this unforgettable region of Japan.
