Located just next to route 363, because of limited parking options walking from Nakatsu Gorge is the best way to access this geological phenomenon. It is certainly worth a trip if you have the time. And if you're up for the adventure we highly recommend the canyoning trip by NiyodoAdventures (see below).

Excellent guide service (in Japanese and English) is available too.
