Avoid heat and enjoy walking on the trail at plateau. Yokoya gorge is created by erosion of Shibu river and 6km hiking trails are set along the river. You will be able to see dynamic waterfalls while hiking. To the first waterfall from the parking lot will be 10 minutes walk. If it is sunny, you will be able to see a rainbow around the waterfall. Walk about 10 minutes, second waterfall will be seen. Keep walking as watching strange shape rocks for 30 minutes, then ascend steep uphill for 15 minutes, you will arrive at Yokoya Kannon Temple.
