Atera Gorge is known for the clarity and emerald coloring of its waters. The trail along the river offers several scenic lookouts, deep rockpools and old bridges from previous logging times. Further up into the gorge (car park area, toilet) is a signed and graded circuit walk with two suspension bridges across the river. The trailhead is 10 min from JR Nojiri station and 10 min from Atera Fore Spa Onsen (public access to the onsen).
