Tenryu Gorge (Iida City, Nagano Prefecture)

#Spring0yentrip It's like art created by nature! Tenryukyo in southern Nagano Prefecture is attractive for its dynamic valley beauty, carved out by the flow of the Tenryu River over thousands of years. The valley is lined with cliffs, and the river boat ride that weaves through them is thrilling. The scenery changes drastically with the seasons, with fresh greenery in spring and autumn leaves in autumn, so you'll never get bored no matter how many times you go. In 2020, a pedestrian-only bridge called "Sora Sanpo Tenryukyo" was completed, and it's also a nice point that you can see the whole valley from above! 📍Basic information (check the website for the latest information) ✴︎Address: Kawaji, Iida City, Nagano Prefecture ✴︎Access: Right next to JR Iida Line "Tenryukyo Station" / About 20 minutes by car from Chuo Expressway "Iida IC" ✴︎Fee: Walking in the valley is free (River boat ride is paid and requires reservation) ✴︎Opening hours: Free to walk (River boat ride varies depending on the season and weather)
