長者原

The picturesque views and well-maintained trails made it a joy to explore. Whether it was a leisurely stroll or a more adventurous hike, there was something for everyone. The sense of serenity that enveloped the area was truly refreshing. I also had the opportunity to indulge in some local cuisine at nearby eateries, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. The friendly locals and warm hospitality made me feel welcome and added to the overall positive impression of 長者原.

One of the many start points for a number of hiking routes. They have plenty of parking and clean washroom area. There are also several hot springs around the area to enjoy after your hike.
