Kakizore Gorge

Carved and created by another stunning river, the Kakizore Gorge is known for its rare beauty, typified by its emerald water and the majestic Ushigataki Falls. Walking trails lead into the valley, following the Kakizore River for around 8km past a landscape of huge granite boulders sitting in the beautiful, clear river.
