Takatsudo Gorge
高津戸峡
A narrow gorge on the Watarase River, cut through pale rock with green cliffs rising on both sides. A small hydro dam built in 1973 was placed at the gorge's upper end on purpose, to keep the view below untouched.
Local tip: Stand on the white Hanetaki footbridge and look down the gorge to the red arch bridge. Then take the riverside path to see the rocks up close.
