#AutumnLeafHiking

A relaxing hike with spectacular views of Ranzan Valley, Saitama’s hidden autumn foliage spot.
Instead of the crowded Arashiyama in Kyoto, we headed to the empty Musashi-Ranzan Valley in Ranzan Town, Saitama.
We took a leisurely stroll along a hidden route, passing the ruins of an ancient Kamakura samurai castle and taking in the spectacular view of autumn leaves reflected on the river’s surface.
The vibrant gradations of autumn leaves greeted our eyes, while the murmuring of a stream and birdsong from field recordings filled our ears.
High-quality video and audio provide a superbly relaxing experience!
Nature lovers will be soothed, and history buffs will surely find their curiosity piqued.
Relax in a hidden spot void of crowds.
