dcourse scThe Kotaro cliffs, which can be viewed from the Shorenji River, are one of the best spots for viewing the changing colors of the fall foliage. Follow the forest path from Tsukinoki Bridge and the gate of Kuroso Daigongen (the Great Incarnation of the Buddha) will appear in front of you. The huge 15m Kuroso Stone Buddha carved into the cliff has been the object of nature worship from ancient times. Keep going through the valley and turn left at the col and you will arrive at Mt. Kuroso, the highest peak of the Muro volcanic group. Double-back from the summit to Nihon Boso. The view from here is superb. Once you are past the management shed, you will see the Soni Highlands covered in Japanese pampas grass. Walk from the Kameyama Pass through the Tokai Nature Trail to Kazura Bus Stop.
