Feel Refreshed in the Mystical Gorge Lined with Stone Buddhas
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.

Date & time: 8/7 (Fri) 19:00–21:00

2026年の日光和楽踊りは8月7日、19時から21時まで、日光市清滝町の古河電気工業(株)日光事業所を会場に開催されます。かつて銅山とともに発展したこの地域で、地元の人々が長く受け継いできた盆踊りで、山々に囲まれた清滝の地に灯りがともり、地域の一体感が感じられる夜になります。日中に世界遺産の社寺群や渓谷を巡ってきた一日の締めくくりとして、歴史ある社寺とはまた違う、地域に根付いた夏祭りの温かさを味わえます。
Tips
会場は市街地からやや離れた清滝地区にあります。車での来場や事前のアクセス確認がおすすめです。夜の山あいは冷えることがあるので、羽織るものを用意しておきましょう。
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.
