Discover Sandankyo
In northwestern Akiota, the 16km Sandankyo Gorge cuts along Shibaki River, a part of Nishi-Chugoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park. The Agency for Cultural Affair has designated this as one of six “Special Place of Scenic Beauty”. Sun dappled trees flicker and reflect on water. Surrender your mind and body to nature. Snuggle up to a tree, lie on the ground, or Yodel to your heart’s content. Search for secrets of the forest hidden under the moss and uncover a mysterious black stone that tells the history of Hiroshima.
