Nezame-no-toko Gorge
Update:2019/09/30
Nezame-no-toko literally means "wake-up bed". It is a bed of rocks at an enchanting location along the Kiso River. The gorge is in a nationally designated scenic spot, known for its fascinating rock formations and the beautiful emerald green color of the river. In autumn (late October through early November), the reflection of the fall colors of the leaves is a sight to behold. There is a lovely stroll through Bijutsu (Art) Park, as well as wonderful views of the area from the train window on the JR Chuo Line. According to legend, Japan’s Rip Van Winkle, Urashima Taro, awoke from his 300 years sleep here on the rocks of Nezame-no-toko.
