Jakuchikyō, Mountain gorge in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.
The Jakuchikyō gorge contains steep rock walls rising alongside a clear mountain stream flowing through dense forests of maple and pine trees.
The gorge became a designated natural monument in 1935, marking its recognition as an essential geological formation in the Yamaguchi region of Japan.
Local artists frequently visit the gorge throughout different seasons to capture its changing colors and natural patterns in traditional Japanese landscape paintings.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails around the gorge between April and November, with dedicated parking areas and rest facilities near the entrance.
