The Hozugawa River Gorge (Rankyo) is the dramatic canyon carved by the Hozugawa River between Kameoka and Arashiyama. It is worth visiting because it offers Kyoto's most spectacular natural scenery, which is best experienced via the traditional Hozugawa River Boat Ride or the scenic Sagano Torokko Train. Both methods provide unique, seasonal views of the rugged mountains, dense forests, and river rapids, making it a thrilling and relaxing contrast to the city's temples.

It’s narrow than it looks. You’ll need to push your backpack first. It can get a bit muddy if it rained some days before.

Lovely little hike along the river through the gorge between Kawaji Onsen and Kinugawa Onsen. Some scrambling at some points but nothing too difficult. If you don't feel like doing the entire route you can do a quick loop from Ryuokyo Station to a little teahouse hidden in the gorge.

This cliff sits at the border between Nagano and Shizuoka prefecture, right above the Sanpuku-toge Wildflower Meadow. Do not get too close, when enjoying this breathtaking scenery. There is always a danger of landslides and rockfall.

Here the new Seinaiji Kaido route leads through a cutting with extemely high and steep rockfaces on both sides of the road. The place is beautiful but also dangerous. There is quite an amount of rock fall so proceed with caution. The cutting was made when to road was built in 1909. There a soba and venison restaurant close by and a beautiful waterfall with a natural pool on the other side of the road. Great place to cool down in summer.

Not too challenging but wear good footwear. Place gets very crowded so arrive early to avoid the jam.

From Tokushima follow Ogawa river towards Kochi. Incredible gorges and rivers all the way.

Iwaya-ji is temple No. 45 on the Shikoku Pilgrimage, or Henro. If there’s one temple on the pilgrimage you really should visit in Ehime Prefecture, Iwaya-ji is it. The temple is located on Kuma Highland in a gorge formed of conglomerate rock. It inspires awe, from the trek up the hillside, to its location embedded in a pock-marked cliff, and the beauty of its structures. At an altitude of 585 m, this temple is one of the nansho (difficult to reach places) of Ehime and mountain recluses and wandering holy men once performed their religious disciplines among the cliffs here.

A narrow suspension bridge leads a few meters above the water across the dramatic gorge.

I was there on a day that it was raining and had been raining for quite a while. I just meant that the water through the gorge was not fully staying within the banks, and made for some impressive drama. I did a quick ride by as I'm planning on going back tomorrow. There are two walking loops along the edge of the gorge that are not bike-friendly. There's a very narrow suspension bridge for pedestrians only that you should probably do for the best view of the gorge and the larger waterfall. Apparently there's also dango that gets sent across the gorge on a rope? A friend told me to be sure to have some, but I was there after hours today so that's on the plan for tomorrow.

You would enjoy riding along a deep valley surrounded by forests. The color of the river and trees are brilliant in fine days. Fall season might be the best. Check Montbell and glossary shop beside for your rest and eat. Restaurants and shops are rare through the road.

Don’t miss this - it’s fun
