Ichinoseki City in southern Iwate Prefecture is home to two awe-inspiring gorges sculpted by nature over millennia that are both designated as natural monuments. The Iwai River, which has Mt. Kurikoma as its water source, has stunning rock formations, waterfalls, and other dynamic scenery along a 2-kilometer stretch, and a well-maintained promenade along the river makes Genbikei Gorge an unforgettable place for a stroll. The Geibikei Gorge is famous for boat trips down the gently flowing Satetsu River, with 100-meter cliffs soaring on both banks, while listening to boatmen sing Geibi Oiwake, a traditional Japanese folk song, while maneuvering the boat with a single pole. Each gorge reveals different expressions as the seasons change.

Chichibugahama Beach is a beach in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture, known for its stunning sunset views. The 1-kilometer-long beach features calm, shallow waters where the tide recedes up to 500 meters at low tide. Its pristine sand and clear waters attract many people of all ages each year in summer, especially families. The tide pools on the beach, especially stunning at sunset and referred to as the “Seto-no-Yunagi,” create a spectacular and photogenic scene known as the Sky Mirror on calm days, reminiscent of the Uyuni Salt Flats.
