In The Green Season
You can enjoy Gran Deco not only in the winter season but also in the warmer seasons. There is a hiking trail starting from the top of the gondola station that leads all the way down 6 km to scenic Lake Hibara on a two-and-a-half hour hike. 20 minutes from the start, the trail will take you around a marsh. 40 minutes from there is the HYAKKAN SHIMIZU fountain where you can quench your thirst with fresh mountain water. Another 45 minutes later you will get to the NUNO Falls, which are the only waterfalls on the Azuma river. The trail will then take you down to Lake Hibara. The gondola lift operates from spring throughout autumn from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM daily. The cafeL Bunabuna at the top is open throughout the hiking season.
