✎ Highlights
- A natural artistic display of variously sized "potholes" carved into the riverbed of a tributary of the Kimozu River.
- These round holes were formed over many years by water flow and small stones eroding the rock.
- Especially popular in summer for its refreshing scenery, it is a hidden relaxation spot.
- Geologically valuable, this photogenic location showcases the power of nature. 📸
