Chomonkyo Gorge

“A 12km canyon where autumn fire fades to winter silence.”

Beautiful Scenery

The Chomonkyo Gorge runs 12km long along the Abukawa River in Yamaguchi. Selected as one of Japan’s top 100 sceneries, you'll receive a different experience exploring it, dependent on which season you visit in. This 12km canyon is surrounded by deep forest that changes color beautifully in autumn. In the winter, snow silences the area and gives it a mystic feeling. Take a moment to absorb the nature as you walk along the well-maintained trails.
