I visited the Arakawa Kenryu Gorge, an unexplored area with a spectacular view, located about 20 minutes by car from Shinbata Station. In conclusion, this place is bad! I would like to urge everyone to go there!

This is the sign for the Kenryu Gorge. You can drive right up to the famous spot.

On the way, there was a mysterious boulder with a human face on it. There was also a rope, but whether this face is graffiti or venerable... it is a mystery.

The rocky terrain and watery area below! Park your car and walk for 30 seconds and you'll soon have a view like this. Unintentionally, we all exclaim, "Ooooh!" We all exclaim!

A bridge comes into view. Cross over.

Signboard after crossing the bridge! This is a sign explaining the Kenryu Gorge. The name Kenryu Gorge seems to refer to a place with many strangely shaped rocks, and we decided to go down to the area where the stream flows, thinking we'd get a closer look at the rocks.

As we descend steadily...

Amazing! Rocky terrain! Rounded rocky terrain!

I am so excited. But still, it's really amazing...

Oh no! There was such a wonderful place in Niigata! I'm very impressed! I could have spent the whole day playing here. It's a water park, so the temperature is cool and it's a great spot to spend the whole day, even in summer. It's one of the best spots in Niigata that you should definitely stop by when you go to Shimbata. You must visit!

A 15-minute walk up a relatively steep mountain path will take you to the summit, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Shinbata. If you are physically fit, you should definitely try climbing up! However, the slope is quite steep and dangerous, so we recommend that you do not climb with small children.
