Discover the Kiyotsukyo Gorge Tunnel, a captivating blend of Japan's three most stunning gorges and sophisticated modern art.
Kiyotsukyo Gorge is renowned for its dramatic columnar joints and magnificent cliffs, designated as a Natural Monument and National Scenic Beauty. In 2018, the entire tunnel was transformed into an art space called 'Tunnel of Light' for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, with new installations added in 2021 to enhance the experience. This is a recommended course for those who wish to experience the four seasons of the gorge amidst contemporary art.

A Harmonious Fusion of Majestic Nature and Modern Art,
A Moving Journey of Light and Water
Stroll along the 750m tunnel, encountering three observation points and the final Panorama Station. Each viewpoint offers a unique perspective of the gorge, while the internal lighting and installations create a distinctive atmosphere. The synergy between nature's grandeur and human-made spatial art presents an unparalleled landscape.

Kiyotsukyo's Surprising Charm, the Panorama Station 'Light Cape', Created by Mirror-like Reflections
Located at the deepest part of the tunnel, the Panorama Station is designed so that the shallow water at your feet acts as a mirror, reflecting the external gorge scenery. The reflected gorge and sky, along with the tunnel's internal lights, create a fantastical sense of space, merging into a single, complete artwork. Experience Kiyotsukyo's premier photo spot, feeling the cool water beneath your feet.

The Majestic Columnar Joints of Japan's Top 3 Gorges, Changing with the Seasons
From the safe viewing areas within the tunnel, you can comfortably admire the overwhelming scale of the sheer cliffs and the clear blue waters. Whether it's the fresh greenery of spring, the coolness of summer, the vibrant foliage of autumn, or the serene snowscape of winter, the scenery is captivating year-round.
"Capture your best moments amidst the magnificent natural beauty reflected in the mirror-like water."
