A scenic spot featuring a series of tower-shaped crags formed by erosion and weathering over a staggering one million years. "Hetsuri" means "cliff" in the local dialect. Visitors can cross a suspension bridge and walk along the rock face, feeling the dynamic sculptural beauty of nature up close. The contrast between the white cliffs, the vibrant autumn leaves, and the emerald green of the river is particularly breathtaking.
