Embark on a magical journey at the "Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel"

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. 🚃 Access: From JR "Echigo-Yuzawa Station" East Exit, take the Minami Echigo Kanko Bus bound for "Morimiyanohara" → Get off at "Kiyotsu Gorge Entrance" (approx. 30 minutes) → Walk for about 30 minutes 🚗 By car: About 30 minutes from Kanetsu Expressway "Shiozawa-Ishiuchi IC" / About 40 minutes from "Echigo-Kawaguchi IC" 🅿 Parking: Parking lots No. 1 to No. 4 available (approx. 155 spaces) / Large buses can be accommodated (7 spaces)
