A 2 hour round trip hike You can feel the negative ions and experience the best nature. The view from the cave was beautiful We started at 8am, but there were few people on a weekday morning, so it was comfortable 🌿 When you walk along the calm, clear stream, the water is incredibly clear The water is cold and refreshing 💓 #Shinshiro #Chiiwa Gorge #Aichi #Natural Scenery #Domestic Travel

#springitinerary Chiiwa Gorge is one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a hidden world. Tucked away in the mountains of Shinshiro (not Kyoto, don’t let Google confuse you), it’s a chill hike through forest trails, past clear streams, and up toward these crazy rock formations and caves. The name “Chiiwa” means “breast rock” because of these wild stalactites in a cave that literally look like... well, you get it. The area has this peaceful, almost spiritual vibe, probably because there are little Buddhist statues tucked into the caves, and a natural stone gate called Tsūtenmon that’s super cool to walk through. It’s part workout, part nature therapy, with just enough quirk to keep things interesting. Not too touristy, not too tough, just bring good shoes and a sense of adventure. Perfect for escaping the city and pretending you're in a Ghibli movie for a few hours.
