SANDANKYO

Hello. This is Tomomi from Hiroshima Hana!!

Do you know Sandankyo Gorge ?

Sandankyo is an 11.5km long ravine in northwestern Hiroshima that runs along the Shibaki River. 

We arrived at the entrance gate about two hours away by bus from Yokogawa station.(there is also a bus from the bus center in downtown)

Lets GO!!♪

beautiful!

The Autumn leaves have already fallen down, but it was still beautiful.

After about one hour of walking, we arrived at the place where we can take a boat.
But unfortunately, since it was raining in the morning, the boat was not being operated!!!

Before we left there, we had lunch near the gate.
We talked a lot with a woman who works at the restaurant and she gave us a lot of information about Sandankyo.

We will visit there next spring again and take the boat!!
