▲ 11:30 AM Enakyo Observatory, approx. 0.5h duration Enakyo was formed about 100 years ago when the Kiso River was dammed by the Oi Dam, creating this artificial lake. The canyon's cliffs are lined with unique rock formations. In spring, around 200 cherry blossoms bloom at the Small Wave Plaza, accompanied by beautiful camellias. During summer, the vibrant green scenery and the red Enakyo Bridge create a stunning view.

Enakyo's charm lies in its ability to offer breathtaking experiences across all four seasons.
