Kanman-ga-fuchi
The small, but dynamic gorge formed about 7000 years ago. This unusually beautiful area, with limpid waters and large lava formations has been a sacred spot since ancient times, and was a training center for Mountain Buddhists. Around 70 stone statues of Jizo, the Buddhist guardian deity of children, line the riverside path. A quiet riverside walk in a religious atmosphere is impressive and unforgettable!
