Rurikei

Japanese: 琉璃渓 - るりけい
Rurikei

A valley in Nantan City, western Kyoto Prefecture. It is also written as Rurikei. It is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty. It is located in the upper reaches of the Sonobe River, a tributary of the Oi River, and has strangely shaped rocks and deep abysses stretching for about 4 kilometers, making it part of the Kyoto Prefectural Rurikei Natural Park. There are many cherry trees and maples, and upstream is the artificial lake, Lake Tsuten. It is located on a plateau 500 meters above sea level, so it is also used as a summer resort. There is a bus service from JR Sanin Main Line Sonobe Station.
