Kiyotsu Gorge

A tunnel with a few stops for you to see the gorge, nice place to visit.

This place is really beauty and interested. It's made me relaxed and enjoy when i came here. Thank you so much for my experience. From Vietnam べトナム

Very recommended if you travel around Niigata

This is one of the most interesting places around this region. The rock formation is very unique and you can see the hexagonal rock everywhere. The management is very nice and kind. This place looks amazing in the morning when light just enter the gorge and the tunnel. It creates a stunning view.

Worth the long walk. The bus normally run from about 1pm and have only once an hour or 2 hours. so please carefully check the schedule first. I recommended you to go to the information center in Echigoyuzawa station first for the details. From the bus stop also take about 30 mins walk and from the tunnel entrance also take around the same distance to the end of the tunnel. I went there by 1pm bus and came back by 5pm bus. there are 4 stops inside the tunnel. The first one you can clearly see the pattern of the rock which is beautiful like paint. The second one have the dome which is actually the toilet and one of them have the open view. The 3rd stop is the one with orange light mirror decorated on the wall and the last one is the one with the pool. You can walk on the side which is shallower. On that day, It was raining and following by the snow storm which made the tunnel be like the wind channel and it was super cold so be careful about the weather. But may be because of that, there are not so many people so I got a lot of great pic without crowd.
