Genbikei is a picturesque gorge carved by the Iwai River, known for its clear waters and lush greenery. Visitors can stroll along well-maintained walking paths that follow the riverbank, taking in views of moss-covered rocks and gentle rapids. A highlight is the traditional wooden boat ride, where a boatman poles visitors upstream, offering a peaceful perspective of the gorge. The area is especially popular in autumn when the foliage turns vibrant shades of red and gold.
