Tsukechi Gorge, Canyon in Tsukechicho, Japan.

The Tsukechi Gorge extends through granite formations, featuring a clear river and multiple waterfalls cascading from heights of over 30 meters.

The geological formations in Tsukechi Gorge developed over millions of years through volcanic activity and water erosion from the mountain snowmelt.

The surrounding Kiso cypress forest has supplied timber for traditional Japanese temples and palaces throughout centuries of architectural history.

Visitors can access the gorge via Limited Express Shinano train from Nagoya to Nakatsugawa Station, followed by a local bus to the entrance.

The 860-meter nature trail along Tsukechi Gorge reveals the riverbed through exceptionally transparent waters fed by Mt. Ontake snowmelt.
