Walking & cycling

A riverside setting at Mt Sakado's foot, summer ayu fishing, walking and cycling, nearby Muromachi-period Undo-an temple

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time
Duration: 24 hours

Ryugon sits at the foot of Mt. Sakado, beside the Uono River. The riverside setting offers a peaceful, natural scene and you can see ayu fishing in summer. As you walk or cycle through the surrounding countryside, you’ll pass changing landscapes that reflect the seasons — fresh greens in spring, lush growth in summer and rich colours through to autumn.

A little farther away lies Undo-an, a famous temple that has existed since the Muromachi period. It’s a quiet spot suitable for calming and spending time, and makes a thoughtful detour if you want a moment of reflection after exploring the rural paths and riverbank. Along the way you’ll enjoy simple, pastoral views and the steady rhythm of village life.
