  • Horai Valley
    Travel / Tourism
    Hyogo Nishinomiya-shi Yamaguchicho Funasaka
    This valley along Prefectural Route 51, which connects Namaze and Arima, is a designated zone of Setonaikai National Park. Located near the upper reaches of the Otada River about 15 minutes from Takarazuka Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway, the unique valley features a ridgeline lined with sharp rocky peaks. It has famously been used as a filming location for many movies on account of its savage and surreal scenery. Most of the area around the valley and its rugged rock faces is private land, so visitors are advised to view it from the Prefectural Route.

    The waterfall is located about 10 km from the Tsuna-Ichinomiya IC on the Kobe-Awaji Naruto Expressway via Prefectural Routes 66 and 468, just off the approach on foot from the information pillar in front of Yamada Elementary School. The beautiful fresh greenery in the surrounding area contrasts strikingly with the red bridge that spans the upper reaches of the waterfall.

Hyogo Areas

around-area-map

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
