  • The Omoshiroyama Gorge trail is a flat, narrow hiking course near the bottom of a gorge with steep, rocky walls. Parts of the trail are carved into the rock face. Elsewhere, delicate arched bridges span the stream below, like a sumi-e landscape painting come to life.

    The hiking course itself takes about 1.5 hours one-way. At the end of the trail, hikers can either turn around and head back the way they came, or extend their hike by following the small road from where the trail ends to Yamadera.
