This scenic valley runs along the Norogawa River, which originates in the Shiramine mountain range. Each year from early October to early November, the maple, Japanese rowan, and beech trees transform into vibrant autumn colors. In late autumn, the view becomes especially striking with the snow-capped Mount Kita as a backdrop. The suspension bridge over the valley also offers impressive panoramas. The Hirokawara Information Center next to the bus stop has lockers, restrooms, and a shop. Please note that private cars are not permitted on the Southern Alps Forest Road to the valley, so visitors must transfer to a bus at Yashajin Pass or the Ashiyasu city parking lot.
