The most beautiful stream in Tohoku, Japan, "Genbi Gorge", a place for picnics and eating flying dango

#Outing #100 Ways to Travel #Yanmei River, known as the most beautiful river in Iwate Prefecture in northeastern Japan, is famous for the strange rocks on both sides of the stream. The Iwai River, which comes from Mount Kurikoma, erodes and cuts many huge rocks in the stream, creating such a wonder. It is similar to the Liwu River canyon landform in Taroko, and is also a magnificent beauty. Yanmei River stretches for more than two kilometers. Cherry trees and maple trees are planted on the strange rocks. It is very beautiful when the flowers bloom, making it a great place for an outing. There are parking lots and shops nearby, and it takes less than five minutes to walk to the valley, which is quite relaxing. No wonder a lot of family tourists come here for outings on holidays. Next to the pavilion on the bank of Yanmei River, there is a rope hanging across to the business on the other side. This is the famous "Guo Gong Tuanzi". Just put the cash in the bamboo basket on the rock wall and knock on the wooden board representing the order. The tea house on the other side will use the rope to slide the dumplings and tea to deliver the meal. While sliding, they will also play "Sweet Honey" and the national flag song. It is super lively and fun! The most convenient way to get there is by car, or you can take the Iwate Prefecture Transportation Bus from JR Ichinoseki Station and get off at Genbikei Station. It is about a 1-minute walk away. #JapanTohokuFreeTravel #TohokuMapleViewing #Genbi Gorge #Outing #Iwate #Ichigoshi #GuogongDumpling #100TravelWays
