- Kotakigawa Jade Gorge
- Travel / Tourism
- Nigata Pref. Itoigawashi Kotaki
- Jade is sourced in this ravine where a large rock face from Mt. Myojo fell. It has been designated a natural monument of Japan as the Kotakigawa Jadeite Deposit. The first jade ever found in Japan was discovered here in 1938 and now the place is a well known tourist spot in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture. Many people are attracted to this beautiful gorge created through years of flowing water with walls of rock and greenery. The towering rock wall is a well known spot for avid rock climbers and the gorge is also famous for producing the Itoigawa Juniper. Collecting rocks is prohibited. Note: Closed in winter and stormy weather
