Kanmanogafuchi (憾満ヶ淵)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A gorge spreading along the rapids of the Daiyagawa River where dozens of moss-covered stone jizos line a walkway just above the water's surface, creating a unique and serene atmosphere. Called the "Shape-shifting Jizos" from the legend that the count changes each time, it's a fun activity to count them with children. Surrounded by the sound of rushing water and cool mountain air, this hidden healing spot offers refreshment even on hot summer afternoons.

Tips

The walkway is partially unpaved with some rough sections, so wear sturdy shoes. It's conveniently located along the way to the Kiyotaki area.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 40 minutes. The strong afternoon sun makes the coolness of this spot particularly welcome.
