Gokase Valley
This erosional valley was formed when lava flowed in a belt shape and rapidly cooled during two of Mt. Ado's volcanic eruptions in the distant past. The valley is famous for its beautiful, vivid fall foliage which is produced by the area's high elevation and cold climate. The 60-meter-high Shirataki Waterfall is located nearby, and in the autumn visitors can enjoy the beautiful contrast of the foliage with the spray of the falls.
