The 12 villages of the Shinetsu border dotted along Nakatsu River, a tributary of Shinano River, are called Akiyamago. It is 25km in total length from the Mitama Village, Tsunan-machi, Niigata Prefecture of the Akiyamago entrance to the innermost area of Kiriake, Sakae-mura, Nagano Prefecture. Blocked by the steep Nakatsu River Valley development has been delayed here making it a secluded region steeped in the traditional old-fashioned way of life. The viewpoints are the Sarutobi Bridge, the Mikura Bridge, the Maekura Bridge area, and the Jabuchi Falls home to a host of legends. Some hot springs are located along the river. In Sakae Village, the best places for viewing the autumn foliage are Mt. Torikabuto, the area around Nunoiwa, and Amaike.
