About this sight
Tachikue Gorge Natural Park is a prefectural natural park. Having strong ties with Buddhism, this picturesque gorge features uniquely shaped rocks that tower up to 150 meters along the Kobe River. You can walk along the river and cross over the bridge while taking in this interestingly shaped rock wall. There are also over a thousand stone Buddha statues lined up against the Reikouji by the river. You can enjoy this spot all year round with the sakura in spring and red maple leaves in the fall.
