🌿 Wild, yet gentle.

Odamiyama Valley is one of those rare places where nature feels untouched but never intimidating.

Crystal-clear water winds through the valley, fresh greenery glows beneath the early summer sun, and the sound of the river seems to slow time itself.

In late May and June, the forest is at its freshest. New leaves emerge in countless shades of green, seasonal blooms appear quietly among the trees, and the cool mountain air offers a welcome escape from the early summer heat.

More than a scenic spot, Odamiyama is a place to pause - to wander, listen, and reconnect with nature at its gentlest.

Early summer in Uchiko means quiet rivers, warm night air, and thousands of fireflies dancing through the darkness. ✨️

Right now, the Kakihara River in Uchiko's Ikazaki area is said to be at its peak viewing period.

Far away from the crowds and city lights, this hidden riverside becomes one of the most magical nighttime scenes in rural Japan each year.

If you visit:
•Please park at the Ikazaki Community Center and walk to the river (about 10 minutes)

•The road is very dark at night, so bringing a flashlight is recommended

•Once you arrive, please turn off lights near the river to protect the fireflies

•Please do not catch the fireflies or park along the road/private property

Let's help preserve this beautiful seasonal scenery for future visitors and locals alike. 🫶
