Shosenkyo Gorge in Yamanashi Prefecture is an idyllic escape from the crowds and a beautiful setting for a hike, especially in autumn when the trees have turned into spectacular hues of gold, orange and crimson. There’s a four-kilometre hiking course that starts from Nagatoro Bridge and ends at the gorge, but a ropeway is also available for those after a more effortless way to admire the views.
