Kirishima Shinshuikyo Gorge, developed along the rugged columnar jointing valley of the Kirishima River near Kirishima Shrine, is a hidden nature trekking area where overwhelming formative beauty created by volcanic lava over staggering years and a mysterious mythological atmosphere drift. As you walk along the beautiful 1.8-kilometer promenade, clear streams shining in emerald green, dynamic rock walls, and "artificial waterfalls" appear one after another, making it a perfect photo spot for international tourists. Farthest away from the noise of the city, while listening to the pleasant murmur of water and the chirping of birds, it is the best healing spot where you can experience the vitality of lush primeval forests and Japan's deep Shinto spiritual world with your whole body.
