Relaxing Nature Escapes in SummmerGet ready to unwind in the valleys of southern Nara

You will travel from Nara City to Tenkawa Village, a journey of about two hours by private car.
The first stop is Goyomatsu Limestone Cave (五代松鍾乳洞), where the average temperature inside is a cool 10°C year-round—perfect for escaping the heat!
Enjoy the natural artistry of the cave formations.

Next, take a leisurely walk along a scenic trail for about 3 kilometers (roughly one hour), following a crystal-clear stream. The forest bathing along the way will refresh both body and mind.
At the end of the walk, you’ll arrive at the Dorogawa Eco-Museum, where a specialist guide will share stories about Tenkawa’s deep connection to water, nature, and spiritual traditions.
After enjoying the great outdoors, check in to your ryokan. Soothe your body with a relaxing soak in the hot springs.
