• Shiraito Falls is located in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. It is a natural landscape that is popular for its unique shape. Unlike the usual large waterfalls that fall from a high place, Shiraito Falls is caused by groundwater seeping out from the volcanic rock layer, and it falls from the curved rock wall about 70 meters wide like a thin stream of white silk, hence the name. The waterfall is about 3 meters high, and the water flows as softly as silk threads. It is most charming in the summer when it is cool and summer-proof and in the autumn when the red leaves are in the background. It is beautiful in all four seasons: the spring is dotted with fresh green, the summer is cool and quiet, the autumn maple leaves set off the picturesque waterfall, and the winter is covered in silver and has a unique style. It is also one of the popular attractions for short-distance travel, photography, and sketching around Karuizawa.

• Old Karuizawa Ginza Street is one of the most popular historical districts in Karuizawa, with a strong European style and a long cultural heritage. Combining natural beauty with humanistic atmosphere, it is a tourist attraction that cannot be missed in Karuizawa. Whether it is strolling, shopping, or tasting food, it can bring you a unique experience. Red brick paving, European-style buildings, old churches, jam shops, cafes, souvenir shops, etc. are all its features.

• Jigokudani Monkey Park was established in 1964 and is located in the Yokoyugawa Gorge of the Joshinetsu Plateau National Park, at an altitude of about 850 meters. Due to frequent geothermal activities, steam and boiling water often emerge from cracks in the ground, hence the name "Jigokudani". The Japanese macaques here imitate the behavior of humans taking hot springs, and gradually formed the habit of taking hot springs to keep warm in the cold winter. The park has built a hot spring pool specifically for the monkeys, and feeds them regularly every day to attract the monkeys to stay here for tourists to observe closely. In autumn, the temperature is moderate, and the monkeys are more active. It is common to see monkey mothers taking their babies to forage or play in the mountains and forests. Although most monkeys do not take hot springs, their natural state and social behavior can still be observed up close.

  Red leaves: The forests around the park gradually turn red, orange and yellow, creating a rich red leaves scene. The red leaves, along with the valleys, hot spring steam and lively monkeys, are ideal subjects for photography enthusiasts.

• Kusatsu Onsen is one of the most popular hot spring towns in Japan, with a unique autumn scenery and a street suitable for strolling. Yubatake: the symbol of Kusatsu Onsen. The "hot spring field" in the center is steaming and surrounded by autumn leaves, like a painting. Kusatsu Thermal Performance: Perform "Yumo" (traditional way of regulating temperature) and experience the unique hot spring culture of Kusatsu.

• Located in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, Fukiwara Falls (吹切の滝) is a spectacular waterfall known as the "Niagara of the East". The waterfall is about 7 meters high and 30 meters wide. The water washes out a unique V-shaped crack on the rocks of the Katashina River, forming a breathtaking natural landscape. In autumn, the mountains and forests on both sides of the waterfall are covered with red, orange and yellow colors, forming a gorgeous autumn picture.
