Takase Gorge
This gorge is located upstream on the Shimaji River. It is known as a canyon where you can enjoy the beauty of nature from season to season, and the splash of the waterfall and the flow of water dancing wildly between the steep and strange rocks attracts visitors. The surrounding 260 hectares is a prefecture-designated green zone environmental conservation area. There is a promenade along the gorge where you can walk while viewing Japanese wisterias and azaleas in early summer and colorful leaves in the autumn. The area is dotted with strange rocks and waterfalls, and there are resting places at each.
