Sandankyo Gorge

The 16-kilometer Sandankyo Gorge along the Shibaki River is unspoiled nature at its best. Located in northwestern Akiota, the gorge is a part of Nishi-Chugoku Sanchi Quasi-National Park and has been designated a Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. There are only six gorges that have been honored with this designation in Japan, and Sandankyo Gorge is the only one of these in the western part of the country.

Nature conservation and preservation are taken seriously here, but visitors can experience the gorge’s beauty firsthand by walking on elevated or paved paths against the backdrop of the ravine’s rushing water, which are laid out so as not to disturb the ecosystem. Walking courses range from a beginner’s stroll to an advanced all-day trek, and hikers are encouraged to choose the appropriate course for their level. Boat rides to Kurobuchi Pool and Sarutobi Rock allow visitors to observe colossal cliffs and untouched forest from the water.

The forest around Sandankyo Gorge consists of a mixture of ancient conifer and evergreen trees. There are more than 1,800 different kinds of moss in Japan, and approximately one-sixth of these can be seen on the Sandankyo trail. Sandankyo Gorge’s tall cliffs and cascading waterfalls are reminiscent of the Chinese landscape paintings (shan shui) that inspired early explorers of the gorge, such as photographer Kuma Nanpo (1876–1943), to preserve its beauty.

Plentiful moisture in Sandankyo Gorge creates rich plant life in all three hiking seasons—spring, summer, and fall. The landscape is especially picturesque under the greenery of summer and during the fall foliage season. It is best experienced with all five senses: Listening to the rushing of the white water and wind circling through the ancient arbor, smelling the piney, organic scent of the forest, touching the fresh water and fallen leaves, tasting the sweet, unpolluted air, and, of course, seeing its beauties up close. Only a 75-minute bus ride from the city of Hiroshima, Sandankyo Gorge is a special place unto itself, where visitors can immerse themselves in nature.

三段峽　概要

三段峽坐落於柴木川邊，地處安藝太田町的西北部，是西中國山地國定公園的一部分。峽谷全長16公里，山水美景渾然天成，保留了未經雕琢的自然風貌。三段峽是文化廳認證的「特別名勝」——日本全國僅六處峽谷被授予此稱號，三段峽則是日本西部僅有的一處。除峽谷的地貌之美外，在三段峽的遊步道還能邂逅多種多樣的植物群和參天古木，這在日本可謂絕無僅有，故有「廣島桂林」之美稱。

景區十分重視對自然環境的保養及維護。在溝壑奔騰的水流之上架設高架、鋪砌遊步道，遊客行走其間，既能親身體驗峽谷美景，又可保全生態系統不受破壞。步行路線眾多，從初級散步路線至耗時一整天的專業級徒步路線齊備，建議山友們選擇適合自身體力的路線。另外，還可乘船前往黑淵及猿飛地區，自船上觀賞壯觀的崖壁及原始森林。

三段峽周邊的原始森林裡，古老的針葉樹與常綠樹參天而立。日本全境有逾1800種苔蘚，其中約六分之一可在三段峽遊步道觀察到。巍峨高聳的懸崖和水花飛濺的階梯狀瀑布，不禁讓人聯想起中國的山水圖。如此壯美的山光水色，日後更激發了攝影師熊南峰（1876-1943）等早期探險家們致力推廣保護的靈感。

濕潤的環境滋養出三段峽春、夏、秋三個登山季中茂密繁盛的植被。夏日綠蔭與秋日紅葉之景尤其美妙。您可透過全身五感體會三段峽的美景——近距離凝視觀賞；聽風穿古木、白水奔騰；於靜謐森林嗅松木幽芳；觸摸冷冽流水、蓬鬆落葉；任清新空氣沁潤心脾。獨一無二的極致體驗定能讓您完全沉醉在大自然之中。從廣島市乘坐巴士75分鐘可達三段峽。
