Day 1

Hossawa Waterfalls

Hossawa Waterfalls

The biggest attraction of Hinohara village is Hossawa Falls which is a four step, 180ft high waterfall that is listed as Japan's 100 best waterfalls. While walking back from Hossawa falls, don't forget to visit the souvenior shop and have a peek into the telescope to see a beautiful waterfall in the distance!
Chitoseya Tofu

Chitoseya Tofu

Chitoseya tofu is located at the beginning of the side road leading to Hossawa falls. We tried the premium silken tofu made from Hokkaido soy beans and its the best tofu I have tasted. The soy flavour is strong and flavourful which makes all the tofu we have in Singapore taste bland by comparison.
Kandukuri sou

Kandukuri sou

If you really want a rustic village experience, you might consider staying at Kandukuri sou Inn. This is a 300 year old kayabuki house with a straw roof that is surrounded by forest and streams. There is also a cypress bath with great views of the forest.
