Tamaki in Totsukawa Village, is part of the World Heritage "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" and a mystical power spot said to be reached "only by those called by the gods."

Dorokyo Gorge / Doro-hatcho

"Dorokyo Gorge," straddling the borders of Totsukawa Village, Wakayama, and Mie, is a grand canyon designated as a National Special Scenic Spot. The area known as "Doro-hatcho" is particularly stunning, featuring steep cliffs and strangely shaped rocks continuing for 1.2 km, weaving a mystical view with cobalt blue waters. Viewing the sheer cliffs from a sightseeing water-jet boat or river boat is overwhelming, and the seasonal colors of the mountains reflected on the water look like a painting. This is an indispensable and moving spot for travelers wanting to feel the dynamic formative beauty of Japan's nature firsthand.
