About Genbi Gorge
- Do not miss the 'Kakkou Dango' (Flying Dumplings). Watching the basket travel via cable across the river is a unique and delightful experience.
- Depending on your fitness level, choose between a short 30-minute walk or a more immersive 70-minute trek to enjoy the gorge's scenery.
- We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, as the paths can be uneven and rocky.
