Formed over millennia, gorges are home to some of the most jaw-dropping landscapes on earth. Nihon Canyon has views you're unlikely to forget in a hurry.
This steep-walled valley in Matsukami is one place that's well worth a visit — and the best bit is, it's free to enter! Other attractions not too far from Nihon Canyon include Slope Car Shirakamigo, so keep some time up your sleeve to swing by there as well.
