Shiratani-unsui Gorge tours have resumed.
Please note that the walking course has been changed due to the massive collapse of the Satsuki Suspension Bridge in Shiratani-unsui Gorge caused by Typhoon No. 10. Visitors can now walk from the entrance of Shiratani-unsui Gorge to Hiryu-bashi Bridge or the round-trip course to Taikoiwa.
