Introduction
If you have visited the Mount Hodo in Nagatoro either by ropeway or hiking, I also recommend you visit the Nagatoro Valley. From the mountain, it is only a walkable distance and if you happen to visit during the spring season then you will not get tired with as you appreciate the view of cherry blossom trees while walking to the place. Today, let me tell you the story of how we visited the Nagatoro Valley.
Town of Nagatoro
After the hike in Mount Hodo, we headed directly to where the valley is. I was a bit tired, but I could walk another one or two kilometers. Along the way, I am given with a little bit of rest due to the stoplights. While waiting for the go signal to cross the road, I took a photo of my shoes. Next, I took a photo of the signal light while it was red, but it went green as soon as I pressed the shutter button.

Heading our way to Nagatoro Valley
Arriving at the place, you could see the wonders of Nagatoro Valley. The rock formation was very awe-inspiring, and it will make you wonder how these rocks were formed. Me and two of my friends were then theorizing how this cool place came to be, and it got out of hand as they over-exaggerate the story telling.
Nearby was a simple hut with a place to sit and we hastily went there. We sat as we were very tired of walking and standing for a whole day. While resting and eating some snacks there, we saw a boat with passengers wearing life-vests. We identified that there was a river boating activities there and I would like to come back again there to try it.

Information on the history of Nagatoro Valley
We didn't explore the whole valley as it needed more energy to walk around the rocky areas. We decided to leave the place and headed to one last place which was just near the Nagatoro valley. A lot of cherry blossom trees are planted there, and the place was lovely. You can also see many professional photographers there who were taking advantage of the beautiful scenery.
After taking lots of pictures, we finally headed back to the station. The place was very busy, and a lot of people were visiting the place. Near the station, I saw that there was a bicycle rental, and I added another note to myself to try this activity. Imagine biking the long road with the whole view of cherry blossoms. Seems nice! I can't wait to try it.

We stopped at a certain station since we decided to visit the premium outlet in Saitama. There were a lot of stores but that was not our main purpose. Of course, we have looked around the place but first we went to eat there. I ordered some steak for myself to treat myself after hiking and walking for almost the entire day.
After having my food with a little bit of resting, we explored the place and unfortunately did not find anything worth to buy. I was convincing my other friend to buy some phone straps produced by Mammut and it was quite comical as it was quite large when you wear it. Since none of us do not have any plans to buy, we unanimously decided to wrap up and started going back home.
