Kiyotsu Gorge
- 清津峡
- Niigata
One of the three great valleys of Japan. The steep columnar joints are beautiful and are what comprise this massive valley. The harshness of the Kiyotsugawa River's rapids and rock walls creates a majestic scenery. ”Keikoku Tunnel (Valley Tunnel)”, a tunnel for pedestrians, allows guests to gaze at the valley from a lookout area.
