This is the autumn foliage scenery of Koankyo in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture.
This is a canyon formed by the deep erosion of both banks of the Minase River over many years. When you go down the stairs of the rocks, there is a promenade at the end of which there is a "large spout" where hot water and steam of 98°C are gushing out violently.
Fresh green in spring, autumn leaves. And in winter, you can enjoy the large icicles "shigakko" that descend into the canyon.
This photo was taken from Kawarayu Bridge overlooking the autumn foliage scenery of Koankyo.
