Ōsugidani

The Osugidani Canyon extends over 12 kilometers along the Miya River, featuring emerald-green waters and multiple suspension bridges crossing deep gorges.

The canyon experienced extensive damage in 2004, leading to a decade-long closure until restoration work allowed reopening in 2014.

The canyon holds the distinction of being recognized among Japan's three major valleys, reflecting its natural and geological importance.

Access to Osugidani requires a 63-minute bus ride from Mitsuya Station to the final stop, followed by registration at the hiking center.

The canyon contains seven waterfalls and eleven suspension bridges, with annual rainfall exceeding 4,000 millimeters shaping its deep geological formations.
