Chomonkyo Gorge

A designated Place of Scenic Beauty, lovely Chomonkyo Gorge is reminiscent of a traditional ink painting, and in each of the four seasons the gorge offers up distinctive, moving scenery. The gorge's most spectacular scenery can be enjoyed in the fall when the autumn foliage is at its peak, and visitors are encouraged to enjoy the gorgeous natural view while strolling along the 5.5 kilometer walking path in the gorge. A Maple Festival is also held here on November 3.
