Genbikei Gorge is located in Genbi-cho, Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture.
The flow of the Iwai river, which flows out of Mt. Kurikoma, has created a lot of abysses and pit holes.
The cliffs are composed of dasite tuff, from the eruption of Mt. Sugawa, are constantly eroded by the torrent of water.
There is a hut across in the gorge area where you can taste “kakko-dango” (rice dumpling), which is sent over from the opposite side of the bank in a basket hung on cables.
