Omogo-kei, Place of scenic beauty in Kumakōgen, Japan.
The Omogo-kei Gorge extends along the Niyodo-gawa River, featuring rock formations and natural landscapes at the base of Mount Ishizuchi.
The designation as a Place of Scenic Beauty preserves the gorge's geological formations, which developed over millions of years through water erosion.
Local legends connect the Kanmon section of the gorge to Sarutobi Sasuke, a central figure in Japanese folklore and ninja traditions.
The Kanmon Walking Path stretches 600 meters from the Omogo-sangaku Museum parking area to the Tsūten-kyō bridge, offering river views.
The waters of Niyodo-gawa River flowing through Omogo-kei hold the highest water quality rating across Japan's river systems.
