One of the most impressive natural sites along the beautiful Nakatsu River is the gorge which shares its name. Geologists place the age of the gorge somewhere around 300 million years, and it’s been sacred to humans for millennia. Shintoists regard it as an important spiritual power spot, but no matter your faith you’ll surely be able to feel its magnificence from the dramatic scenery alone!
If you want to enjoy the gorge and surrounding area in full, then you should explore it as part of the hiking trail which runs for 2.3km along the river. You’ll be treated to gigantic ancient boulders, carved statues of gods granting you safe passage, and at the end a beautiful 20 meter waterfall named Uryu-No-Taki. This walk is particularly nice in fall, when the whole place is decked out in the autumnal golds and auburns.
If you still have time to spare after completing the trek, then the Nakatsu River continues on to join with the Niyodo River — the crystal-clear jewel in Kochi’s crown. Continuing on here will provide even more adventure to fill as many days as you can spare.

美丽的中津川沿岸最令人印象深刻的自然景点之一就是与中津川同名的峡谷。地质学家认为峡谷的年龄约为 3 亿年，千百年来一直是人类的圣地。神道教信徒将其视为重要的精神力量之所在，但无论您的信仰如何，单从其壮丽的景色中您就一定能感受到它的伟大！
如果您想完整地欣赏峡谷和周边地区的美景，那么您应该沿着沿河长达 2.3 公里的徒步旅行路线进行探索。您将看到巨大的古代巨石、保佑您安全通过的雕刻神像，最后还有一个名为 "Uryu-No-Taki "的 20 米长的美丽瀑布。秋天的时候，整个山谷都披上了秋天的金色和赭色的外衣，走在山路上尤为惬意。
如果您在完成徒步旅行后还有时间，那么中津川将继续前行，与高知皇冠上清澈见底的明珠--二淀川汇合。在这里继续前行，您可以尽情享受更多的探险乐趣。

中津峡谷（Nakatsu Gorge）是一处雄伟美丽的自然景点，也是神道教的圣地，是高知最迷人的徒步旅行路线之一。

Nakatsu Gorge  Guide | Kochi

Nakatsu Gorge 

Located on the central southern coast of Shikoku Island, Kochi Prefecture looks out across an endless sun-soaked sea, so a day of relaxing on its beaches is one well-spent. Inland, you’ll find some of the most beautiful rivers in Japan, including the incredibly crystal-clear Niyodo River which cuts through Nakatsu Gorge.

Camping along its banks is a real treat, and you’ll find plenty of places to do so along its length. Heading further into the hills to the north, to Shikoku Karst National Park, you’ll get some amazing views of the heavens, for which the prefecture is famous. These highlands are beautiful by both day and night, lined with miles and miles of trails to wear out even the most experienced hiker.

Back in the human world, you’ll find Kochi City, the coastal capital of the prefecture. Although small by Japanese standards, this place is packed with character. It boasts one of only a dozen original castles still standing in the country. Along the streets, you’ll also find plenty of food halls and markets, which give the whole place a rustic, warm, community feeling. 

There’s a slower pace of life in Kochi Prefecture, suited to those who enjoy taking their time to appreciate things. Once you tune in to this lifestyle and see all the area has to offer, you won't even want to leave.

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
