A Majestic Natural Artwork Carved by 250 Million Years of Time
Kanoto Rock is a natural monument in Tokyo, where layers of rock from 250 million years ago have been gradually eroded over time, creating a unique landscape.
The towering rock faces, standing about 100 meters high on both sides, with a clear stream flowing between them, can truly be described as a masterpiece created by nature itself.
In the narrow corridor-like valley, the crystal-clear waters of the Kanoto River rush down, resonating against the rock walls.
A walking trail has been developed along the flow, allowing visitors to walk through this mystical gorge, supported by chains for safety.
The towering rock cliffs, standing about 100 meters high, are awe-inspiring in their scale.
The rock faces are adorned with countless patterns, shaped over millennia, allowing one to feel the immense power of nature.
Kanoto Rock is also of significant geological value.
The exposed rock layers, dating back 250 million years, are made of chert (flint), a very hard material that has allowed the rock to retain its form over such a long period of time.
