鬼之舌震, Canyon in Okuizumo, Japan

Oni no Shitaburu is a V-shaped canyon with steep cliffs and large boulders shaped by river erosion over time. The valley cuts through biotite granite terrain and showcases the power of flowing water to carve rock formations.

The valley is linked to an ancient story about Princess Tamahi, who created a barrier to stop a legendary threat. This tale has shaped how the region is understood and remembered by those who live nearby.

The name references local folklore about supernatural beings connected to this valley. Visitors can sense these traditional beliefs throughout the area, which continue to influence how people relate to the landscape.

A suspension bridge spans across the valley to connect different viewing areas. The paths are well-maintained and easy to walk, though seasonal conditions may affect access during winter months.

The name developed from transformed words that originally reflected a deeper emotion within an ancient love story. This unexpected linguistic connection weaves geology and myth together in the valley's identity.
