There are many hot springs near Kurobe Gorge, especially in the Unazuki Onsen area. After exploring the gorge, you can relax in a hot spring. It really makes for a perfect trip.

Sayama Lake
Lake Sayama, which straddles Tokorozawa City and Iruma City in Saitama Prefecture, is an artificial lake constructed for the purpose of securing water sources. As an irreplaceable dam lake for the region, it has been selected as one of the 100 best dam lakes.
There are several trails around the lake, making it a great place for the whole family to enjoy nature together.

Takaoka Kojo Park
This national historic site park is located in the heart of Takaoka City and is one of Japan's best moated parks. The park was built on the site of Takaoka Castle, which was built in 1609 by Toshinaga Maeda, the second head of the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, and the castle's stone walls still stand today.
Takaoka Kojo Park is beautiful all year round. Depending on the season you visit, you can enjoy different kinds of scenery.

Futagoji Temple
Futagoji-Temple is a Tendai sect temple located halfway up Futago Mountain, which rises in the center of the Kunisaki Peninsula. It was founded in 718 by Ninmon Bodhisattva at Rokugomanzan of Sojiin. There was the center of mountain asceticism. In the Edo period (1603-1867), it was also a prayer hall for the Matsudaira family of the Kitsuki Domain.
This place gets really crowded during the fall foliage season. If you have the energy, I recommend hiking up to the top of Futago Mountain—the views up there are even more stunning.
