White Cliffs
Tucked within the Juniko Lakes area of Shirakami-Sanchi, Nihon Canyon is a striking natural feature characterized by its white tuff cliffs that rise dramatically amidst lush greenery. Often referred to as Japan's miniature Grand Canyon, its pale rock faces provide a stark contrast to the surrounding forest, especially vibrant during the autumn foliage season. Accessible via a short hike from Juniko Station, visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the observation deck. The area is part of the Shirakami-Sanchi UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its pristine beech forests and diverse ecosystems. 30 min walk from Juniko station.
