I would like to inform the journey of exploring the "Ruri Valley" of Nantan City in Kyoto Prefecture and enjoying Grand Ping at "Ruri Valley Hot spring".
Ruri Valley is located in the western part of Kyoto Prefecture, near Hyogo, Osaka and the prefectural border.
Take the San-in Main Line from Kyoto Station, get off at Sonobe Station, get on the bus, change at the "Hatta" bus stop and get off at the "Ruri Valley" or "Ruri Valley Bridge" bus stop and arrive at the "Kyoto Nature Park".
By the car, from Osaka city or Kyoto city it can be reached in 1 hour 30 minutes.
For enjoying dinner with a barbecue with a tent called Grand Ping this time,
I arrive at "Ruri River" around 10:00.
"Ruri Valley" is about 4 kilometers in length on a plateau of 500 meters in altitude.
The trees on both banks of the boardwalk are releasing the colors of the seasons.
The upstream part of the boardwalk consists of granite and the downstream part is quartz rock which is different from quartzite, and you can see the unique rocks, waterfalls, and leaves scattered in the clear stream.
"Ruri" is a kanji written as "lapis", and the clear stream is named because it looks like a Ruri brighter by the reflection of light.
Start walking from the entrance of Ruri River towards the "Lake Tsuten" upstream of the Promenade.
First of all, you can see "Sounding Waterfall". : The back of the waterfall is hollow and sounds.
Next is "Kinshugan Rock". : It seems like Nishiki in the period of autumn leaves.
"Kakkyukan stream": It is said that salamanders are living here.
"Double dragon Hut": It seems that a dragon of a sex seems to swim underwater.
"Ball racetrack waterfall": The water flowing on the rock is like a rolling ball and it is beautiful.
"Crystal blind": The appearance of falling waterfall looks like crystal blind.
"Lake Tsuten": It is a dam lake upstream of Ruri River.
Twelve strange rocks and waterfalls can be seen by exploring the Ruri Valley.
When walking, the bird's voice matches the sound of the stream, and you can enjoy the coolness of the stream.
Take a leisurely walk around the promenade, look at the strange rocks and waterfalls, eat lunch box lunches and enjoy forest bathing.
After about 3 hours of walking around the Ruri Valley, next we will walk to "Ruri Hot Spring" near Lake Tsuten.
Today we
stay at Grand Ping at "Ruri Valley GRAX" which opened in June 2016.
Grandping is a coined word that combines "glamourous" and "camping" and is a facility that allows you to experience the comfort and services that are similar to luxury hotels in nature. "Ruri Valley GRAX" has a tent, a trailer house and a cabin, and this time we will stay at the popular Grand Pingtent.
You can enjoy barbecue at "Ruri Valley GRAX".
Facilities will do the preparation of meal materials and drinks.
The tent is large enough to accommodate 2 to 4 people, a bed in the tent and a hammock for the nap.
It is a supreme pleasure to look up the starry sky from the tent at night.
"Ruri Valley GRAX" is often full in Saturday in many cases, Weekday is recommended.
Please enjoy walking and Grand Ping at "Ruri River" near Kyoto and Osaka.
That’s it.
