Kanmangafuchi Abyss

Kanmangafuchi Abyss (憾満ヶ淵) is a scenic gorge formed by a volcanic eruption from Mount Nantai, located near central Nikko. Only a few hundred meters long, it features a charming riverside walking trail offering breathtaking views.

The gorge is famous for its row of 70 stone Jizo statues, known as “Bake Jizo” (Ghost Jizo), “Narabi Jizo” (Jizo in a line), and “Hyaku Jizo” (100 Jizo). These statues are placed along the river, gazing toward the Nikko Botanical Garden, although the garden cannot be accessed from the abyss.
