Our guide
Ōboke is a gorge on the middle reaches of the Yoshino River, cut as the river held its course while the mountains rose around it. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.
Ōboke Station on the Dosan Line is about 1.3 km from the point this page is mapped to, in a straight line. We have not checked boat trips, their season or fares, so look for local information before you go.
