Located in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, the "Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel" offers a safe and artistic way to enjoy the breathtaking views of Kiyotsu Gorge, one of Japan's three major gorges. Visiting in spring, I was mesmerized by the stunning scenery of columnar rock formations and emerald-green streams. Inside the tunnel, you'll find the "Tunnel of Light," an installation of light and water that feels like stepping into another world. Whether traveling solo or as a couple, you can indulge in a luxurious experience surrounded by nature and art. There are also free observation points available, ensuring a refreshing and soul-cleansing journey.
