Hisuikyō, Natural canyon in Kamo district, Japan
The Hisuikyo Canyon extends for 12 kilometers along the Hida River, featuring numerous potholes formed by water erosion in the rock formations.
The canyon contains rocks dating back 2 billion years, making it a location where some of Japan's oldest geological formations were discovered.
The canyon stands as a designated National Natural Monument since 1961, reflecting the geological heritage and natural phenomena of water erosion patterns.
