Akechidaira View Point in Nikko Japan by TANAKA Juuyoh (CC BY 2.0)

 

About

Akechidaira Plateau is a plateau at the top of the ascending Irohazaka Winding Road.  There is a parking lot and free observation deck where you can get a nice view of the Irohazuka Road and the valley below (from where you just came).  Next to the parking lot is a rest house / souvenir shop / cafeteria and the Akechidaira Ropeway.  For a small fee you can jump on the ropeway and get up to a higher observation platform that gives you a fabulous view of Kegon Waterfall, Lake Chuzenji, Chuzenjiko Onsen Town, Mt. Nantai, etc.  You can actually get to this plateau for for free if you like (in the summer) by a hiking trail that starts at Lake Chuzenjiko, it takes about 3-4 hours to hike the trail (the trail also leads to Mt. Hangetsu).

Akechidaira Plateau is in the Nikko Area of Japan. See our Nikko Area page for a complete guide.
