Geibi Gorge is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. In 1927 it was selected as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan.Geibi Gorge is a 2 kilometer long gorge formed by the Satetsu River, surrounded by soaring cliffs of over 50 meters in height, and peaking at 124 meters. The name “Geibi,” which means “lion nose,” comes from a limestone formation near the end of the gorge which resembles a lion's snout. The gorge is a famous sightseeing spot in the south of Iwate Prefecture and is noted for its 90-minute boat trip up and back down the river pushed along with a pole by boatmen or women, who sing on the return leg of the journey.

Geibi Gorge is a short walk from Geibikei Station on the JR East Ofunato Line.
