More and more Fuchikyo

This gorge, created by the flow of the Mukunashi River, is a tranquil spot surrounded by trees. The name "Dondon-buchi" (Dondon Pool) is said to originate from the time when the lord of this castle was attacked and killed; a drum that fell from the castle struck the waterfall, making a "dondon" sound.

Furthermore, legends of kappa (water imps) remain in this area, and kappa statues and the Asuka Kappa Shrine are scattered throughout the vicinity. Known as a place that preserves history and folklore, visitors can stroll through nature and encounter the stories passed down in the region.
