Extending 16 kilometers along the northernmost part of the prefecture, Sandankyo Gorge is one of Hiroshima's hidden natural treasures. As you walk along the different trails throughout the gorge you can encounter breathtaking waterfalls, flowing rivers and abundant plant life.
This beautiful spot is seldom visited by foreign travelers due to its distance from the city of Hiroshima and the limited public transportation available to get there. There are only a couple of buses a day which operate between the city and gorge and the ride takes about 80 minutes in total. For those who love nature and hiking though, the time and effort it takes to reach Sandankyo Gorge is definitely worth it.
