Geibikei Gorge | National Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument | Iwate-ken, Japan

Geibikei (猊鼻渓) is a ravine on the Satetsu River in the city of Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It has been designated a National Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument since 1923. In 1927 it was also selected as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan. Geibikei is located in southern Iwate Prefecture, and is approximately two kilometers long. The river is surrounded by soaring cliffs of over 50 meters in height, and peaking at 124 meters, with fanciful rock formations created by erosion and numerous waterfalls.
The gorge is just a short walk from Geibikei Station along the JR Ofunato Line.
The scenery along the gorge is attractive at any time of the year, but particularly so during the fall color season which usually peaks in late October and early November and around mid May when the wisteria flowers are usually in bloom. Carps and ducks are among the animals living in the gorge. It is possible to buy special snacks and feed them from the boat.
Tours depart roughly once per hour. Each boat can seat several dozen passengers who are supposed to take off their shoes before sitting onto the mat on the floor of the boat. During the ride, the boatman provides explanations in Japanese and performs a local folk song. A couple of souvenir shops with restaurants are located next to the boat pier.
The tour leads about one kilometer into the gorge and back. At the turning point, passengers leave the boat for 15-20 minutes to walk a few hundred meters further into the gorge. There they can view a large rock, shaped like a lion's nose, after which the gorge was named. Furthermore, tourists can buy small lucky stones and try to throw them into an opening in the cliff on the opposite side of the river.
It is enjoyed by taking a calm, 90 minute ride on a flat-bottomed boat navigated by a boatman with a pole. Pleasant natural scenery with impressive, tall cliffs and rock formations can be viewed along the way.
Measures were in place for the virus, there were alcohol spray around the ticket booth area. Masks were worn by everyone, including staff and river guides.
Our kids enjoyed throwing the stone, feeding the ducks and atmosphere.
The gorge itself is so beautiful. A very natural place.
