Nakatsu Gorge in Niyodogawa Town is a premier canyon spot in Japan boasting a dynamic sculptural beauty of rocks, uniquely carved out as the pure streams of the Nakatsu River eroded rugged limestone mountain faces over immense timelines. Crystal-clear water shimmering in a crystal-like blue praised as "Niyodo Blue" flows fiercely between mossy giant rocks with absolute dynamism. Well-maintained walking paths and bridges continue for about 2.3 kilometers within the valley, allowing for a trekking experience just like exploring a giant rock maze. The top highlight is the "Uryu Falls" with a drop of about 20 meters, rushing down with intense water sprays from a narrow gap of sheer precipice cliffs, whose overwhelming life force and great nature's mystery thoroughly captivate international adventure-loving travelers.
