Sandankyo Gorge
The erosion of the limestone plateau in the northwest of the
Hiroshima prefecture has left a beautiful deep gorge, stretching
for about 11 miles (18km), full of primeval forest, waterfalls,
monkeys, unusual rock formations and the Onbashi Bridge, the
largest natural bridge in Japan. Sandankyo Gorge is a favourite
route for hikers.
Transport: Train or bus from Hiroshima City
