Sandankyo: Sandankyo Front Gate to Kurobuchi Pool

The Sandankyo Front Gate is the starting point of the south end of the Sandankyo trail. The three-kilometer trek from the Sandankyo Front Gate to Kurobuchi Pool is the most popular because hikers can experience the gorge’s natural beauty in about 50 minutes on paved paths and well-trod dirt roads, making it enjoyable for beginners or day-trippers. The entrance to the trail is located next to both the Sandankyo Hotel and stores providing provisions and information for the hike. After starting on the trail, hikers will cross a bright red bridge over Nagabuchi Pool. At around 100 meters, this is the longest pool in Sandankyo Gorge. A local kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding school is based here. The water is clear and cool in summer, making the pool popular for swimming.

About 5 minutes from Nagabuchi Pool is Shimaidaki Falls. The name means “sister waterfall” and refers to the three streams that run parallel down the rocks into a tranquil pool. Shimaidaki Falls is near Tatsunokuchi Torrent, where the tranquil water turns into tumultuous, rushing rapids.

In about 20 minutes from Shimaidaki Falls, hikers will come across a bright red opening amid the greenery. Called Akadaki Falls, this small waterfall of fresh spring water is framed by rocks covered with the brick-red algae that thrives here. The drinkable water is cold and clean, with a sweet flavor and soft texture. After passing Akadaki Falls, the trail leads onward to Meotobuchi Pool, an eroded pond filled with rocks. The path along Meotobuchi Pool is elevated, and there is no barrier between the path and the long drop to the water. Next to the pool is Ishidoi Shallows, a shallow area also filled with rocks.

Further on, the trail leads to Kurobuchi Pool, where hikers can walk to the water’s edge and take a break. The water in this large pool is tranquil and surrounded by giant cliffs covered with pristine forest. Kurobuchiso, a restaurant in the middle of the gorge, can be reached by a small ferryboat (the ride takes about 10 minutes).

三段峽　三段峽正面入口至黑淵

三段峽的正門處亦是其步道南端的起始地點。從正門到黑淵間，3公里的徒步登山路線尤受歡迎——在人工鋪設的道路和自然小徑間，步行約50分鐘便能體驗到峽谷的自然美，即使是初來乍到或者是一日遊的遊客也能感受個中的愉悅。遊步道入口毗鄰於三段峽酒店，及提供徒步登山用的食品和資訊的店鋪。踏上遊步道稍向前行，途經橫跨長淵、約100公尺長的鮮豔紅橋，脚下便是三段峽中最狹長的水潭。當地的皮艇和站立式槳板教室均在此設有大本營。夏季潭水清透冷冽，尤其受到游泳者的青睞。

從長淵步行五分鐘，便可到達姊妹瀑。該瀑布得名於其獨特的景觀：岩壁上方三道水流並列下墜，落入靜謐的深潭。姊妹瀑位於龍口附近，平靜舒緩的河流一到龍口，立刻化為波濤洶湧的激流。

距姊妹瀑約20分鐘路程處，有一片被綠意環繞的鮮紅色景觀——赤瀑。這道小瀑布被爬滿磚紅色藻類的岩石包圍，其湧出的泉水冷冽清甜、柔和適口，可直接飲用。穿過赤瀑後，遊步道朝著被流水侵蝕過、滿是岩石的女夫淵延伸。沿途步道挑高而建，與水面落差極大，且無遮攔。女夫淵過後的石樋灘，是一處岩石遍布的淺灘。

沿遊步道繼續行進即達黑淵。被原始森林覆蓋的崖壁從四面環抱著寬廣平靜的潭水。徒步者行至水邊可稍作休息，也可搭乘小船，抵達地處三段峽正中心的「黑淵莊」餐廳（乘船所需時間約10分鐘）。

三段峡　三段峡正面入口至黑渊

三段峡的正门处亦是其步道南端的起始点。从正门到黑渊间，3公里的徒步登山路线最具人气——在人工铺设的道路和自然小径间，步行约50分钟便能体验峡谷的自然之美，即便是初学者亦或是一日游的旅客亦能感受个中的欢愉。游步道入口与三段峡酒店、提供徒步用食品和信息的店铺毗邻。踏上游步道稍向前行，途经横跨长渊、约100米长的鲜艳红桥，脚下便是三段峡中最狭长的水潭。当地的皮艇和站立式桨板教室皆在此设有大本营。夏季潭水清透冷冽，深受游泳者青睐。

从长渊步行五分钟，便可抵达姊妹瀑。该瀑布得名于其独特的景观：岩壁上方三道水流并行下坠，落入静谧的深潭。姊妹瀑位于龙口附近，平静舒缓的河流一经龙口，立即化为波涛汹涌的激流。

距姊妹瀑约20分钟路程处，有一片被绿意环绕的鲜红色景观——赤瀑。这道小瀑布被爬满砖红色藻类的岩石包围，其涌出的泉水冷冽清甜、柔和适口，可直接饮用。穿过赤瀑后，游步道朝着被流水侵蚀过、覆满岩石的女夫渊延伸。一旁的步道挑高而建，与水面落差极大，且无遮拦。女夫渊过后是石樋滩，这里岩石林立，遍布河滩。

沿游步道继续行进至黑渊。这里，被原始森林覆盖的崖壁，从四面环抱着宽广平静的潭水。徒步者行至水边可稍事休息，亦可搭乘小船，抵达地处三段峡正中央的“黑渊庄”餐厅（全程约10分钟）。
