Take a walk (and some obligatory food stops) with Mei on the beautiful 48 Waterfalls of Akame trail in Mie Prefecture. From Travel Notes:
The trail is in a river valley, where visitors can admire a series of breathtaking waterfalls set against a backdrop of seasonal colors. The area is also historically linked to the Iga-ryu ninjas, who are said to have trained in this mountainous area from the 15th to the 18th century to hone their agility and survival skills.
With well-maintained trails, this hike is accessible to casual hikers, although there are a few steep sections and stairs. The complete hike is 4 km long and can be done in around 3-4 hours at a leisurely pace (about 1.5 hour one-way or more if you make a lot of stops and spend time taking pictures).
A vicariously refreshing summer walk!
