Geibikei Gorge, River gorge in Ichinoseki, Japan
The limestone cliffs rise 100 meters above the Satetsu River, creating a 2-kilometer natural corridor through the mountains of Iwate Prefecture.
The gorge received its name in 1926 after Emperor Hirohito noted its similarity to the Qutang Gorge in China during his visit to the region.
Local boatmen perform traditional songs while navigating wooden boats through the gorge, continuing a practice that spans multiple generations.
The boat tours operate daily from 8:30 to 16:00, with each journey lasting 90 minutes and including opportunities to feed wild fish and throw fortune stones.
Visitors can participate in stone throwing at a specific rock formation, where landing a stone on the target indicates future good fortune.
