Tenninkyo Gorge, located in the northwestern part of Daisetsuzan National Park, features stunning columnar joint cliffs along the Chūbetsu River. This scenic gorge stretches for approximately 8 km and is known for its beautiful waterfalls and primeval forest. Key attractions include Hagoromo Falls and Shikishima Falls, though access may be limited due to trail closures. Visitors can also see unique rock formations like Amatsu Rock and Shichifuku Rock. Located a 65-minute drive from Asahikawa Station, Tenninkyo offers a tranquil escape with picturesque views, especially during the autumn foliage season. Note that some facilities may appear aged or abandoned, contributing to a somewhat desolate atmosphere.
