Taijaku Gorge
Taijaku Gorge is a canyon along the Okudake River.
Steep cliffs of welded tuff with well-developed columnar jointing rise on both sides.
The cliffs reach heights of up to 70 meters.
Rocks on the valley floor are exposed from volcanic activity about 15 million years ago.
Because the Okudake River originates in the rich natural forests of the Sobo–Katamuki mountain range, the gorge is a clear, blue ravine.
