Matsuki-keikoku Valley

Information

Matsuki-keikoku Valley is sometimes referred to as “the Grand Canyon of Japan.” The barren cliffs towering over the ravine give the feeling that you are lost in a wasted parallel universe. The scenery was made by wildfires and smoke hazards occurred in the Meiji Period (1868 - 1912). In winter, you can see the rock faces covered with white snow and frozen waterfalls which look like large ice walls.
