Kurobuchi is a scenic spot located within Sandankyo Gorge in Hiroshima Prefecture, accessible via a 40-50 minute walk from the main entrance. A notable feature is the Kurobuchi Ferry, a traditional boat service where boatmen use poles to navigate the waters, offering passengers picturesque views reminiscent of a landscape painting. Visitors can also find a rest area called Kurobuchi-so, which provides refreshments and restroom facilities. Be mindful of wildlife, especially during the early morning or late afternoon, and plan to return to the entrance by 5 PM. The ferry service costs ¥500 for a round trip and ¥300 for a one-way trip, and pets are allowed on board.
