Sosuikyo Gorge

Japanese: 蘇水峡 - そすいきょう

A gorge located about 2km downstream from Maruyama Dam in the middle reaches of the Kiso River in Yaotsu Town, Kamo District, Gifu Prefecture. The flow of the Kiso River slows down here, and it was once a place where timber was assembled into rafts (a rope field). The steep cliffs are lined with strangely shaped rocks such as Eboshi Rock and Tengu Rock, and the area is famous for its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. Maruyama Sosui Lake, created by Maruyama Dam, is known for its natural beauty on the lakeshore and for fishing, and is included in the Hida Kisogawa Quasi-National Park. It is a 15-minute bus ride from Akechi Station on the Nagoya Railroad Hiromi Line.

Japanese:

岐阜県加茂(かも)郡八百津(やおつ)町、木曽(きそ)川中流の丸山ダムから下流へ約2キロメートルの峡谷。木曽川の流れはここで緩やかになるので、かつては材木が筏(いかだ)に組まれた所（綱場(つなば)）である。切り立った岸壁には烏帽子(えぼし)岩、天狗(てんぐ)岩などの奇岩が連なり、サクラや紅葉が有名。丸山ダムによってできた丸山蘇水湖は湖岸の自然美や釣りで知られ、飛騨木曽川国定公園(ひだきそがわこくていこうえん)に含まれる。名古屋鉄道広見線明智駅からバス15分。
