Oboke and Koboke Gorges

Oboke and Koboke Gorges extend for approximately 5 miles and were carved over 200 million years by the swift-flowing Yoshino River as it crosses the Shikoku Mountains. The gorges are known for their towering, sculpture-like scenery. The rock formations and V-shaped valleys visible up close offer valuable insight into the formation of the Japanese archipelago, earning the area designation as a National Natural Monument.
