The Nikko-Shiobara Maple Route is a scenic 28.5-kilometer road connecting the Kinugawa/Kawaji hot spring area with Shiobara Hot Springs. While the route offers beautiful views throughout the year, it is especially stunning during the autumn foliage season, as suggested by its name. The best time to enjoy the brilliant fall colors is typically from late October to early November. Lined with maples at altitudes over 1,000 meters, this drive promises breathtaking highland scenery at its peak.
