This guided trekking experience explores the natural beauty of Sandankyo Gorge, one of Japan’s most scenic river valleys.

Along the route, guests enjoy ever-changing scenery while learning about the geology, ecosystems, and history of the area from a local guide. The varied terrain offers a balance of peaceful walking and gentle exploration, with opportunities to get closer to the river and experience the gorge from different perspectives.

Ideal for nature lovers and active travelers, this tour offers a refreshing escape from the city and a deeper connection with Hiroshima’s mountain wilderness.
