Nezame No Toko (Kiso Valley)

As a result of centuries of erosion cutting the granite bedrock it is only recently, and after the flow of the river had been lowered due to hydropower construction, that the gorgeous Nezame No Toko scenery was unveiled to us all!

Located near the Agemmatsu village, Nezame No Toko is today a nationally designated scenic sport and indeed offers a stunning view of giant granite boulders eroded in a surprisingly “cubic” fashion that only mother nature could accomplish.. Surrounded by beautiful emerald green colored waters, Nezame No Toko offers on its main “island” the chance, for the most adventurous, to discover a little temple dedicated to the river god.
