藤河内渓谷 Fujikawachi-keikoku Fujikawachi Gorge

Jp En


Fujikawachi Gorge is an 8 km gorge from the Kannon Waterfall located in the upstream of the Kuwabara River, which springs out of Mt. Natsukiyama in both Oita and Miyazaki prefectures, to the village of Fujikawachi. The stream has a lot of hooks and there are many points of torrent, which is typical to an upstream-typed valley. The Kannon Waterfall, from which the stream flows out, is a large waterfall with a height of 77 m and a width of 2 m. Along the stream continue strange-shaped granitic rocks which are eroded by water, a large monolith called Senmai-daira or Senjojiki, Hyotan-buchi pool in the shape of a gourd, and pot holes in various shapes like spiral, cotyloid, or streamline. The gorge is rich in nature with azaleas in spring and red leaves in autumn. Visitors can enjoy landscape that changes from season to season or outdoor activities such as camping at a nearby camping site and fishing in the clear mountain stream.
