🍃 Nature’s Majesty at Sounkyo Gorge

Our visit to Sounkyo Gorge was one of the most memorable moments of our Hokkaido trip. Surrounded by towering cliffs and dramatic rock formations, the entire area felt like something out of a fantasy novel. It’s peaceful, raw, and absolutely stunning.

We drove through the gorge and made several stops to take in the scenery. The fresh mountain air and sound of rushing water from the nearby river were incredibly calming. We saw the famous Ginga and Ryusei waterfalls—one delicate like a silver thread, the other powerful and roaring. Both were spectacular in their own way, and together they made quite the impression.

The area wasn’t crowded when we went, so we could really soak in the quiet beauty of nature without distractions. If you’re someone who appreciates scenic drives, mountain vibes, or just a peaceful break from city life, Sounkyo Gorge is well worth the detour.
