Our guide

Sanbaseki Gorge is a ravine on the Kanna River, on the border of the city of Fujioka, Gunma, and the town of Kamikawa, Saitama. It has been a national Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument since 1957. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

We have not checked a public-transport route, so plan the journey on the map and look for local information before you go.
