This valley is nestled within a primeval forest featuring such tree varieties as chinquapin, Japanese bay, and oak. The valley is home to no less than 20 different water falls, including a five-fold waterfall. The valley is also known as a treasure trove housing nearly 300 varieties of moss, something not easily found elsewhere in the world, thanks to the steady temperature and humidity in the valley throughout the year. There is also a hiking course of three kilometers in length (the Inohae Valley Road), letting you reach the five waterfalls in about 90 minutes. Furthermore, the healing effect of relaxing in the forests of Inohae Valley has been scientifically proven, earning it a designation as a place for “forest therapy.”
