Gembikei Gorge ( Ichinoseki City )

( National place of scenic beauty; natural monument )
Gembikei Gorge is a dynamic 2-km gorge formed by the Iwai River flowing from Mt. Kurikoma. In 1927, it was designated as a national place of scenic beauty and a natural monument. The rough boulders on either side of the river and the beautiful clear water become colored with cherry blossoms in the spring, azaleas in the early summer, and the autumn foliage. The sound of the water echoes against the rocks and fills the gorge. From April through October, you can also ride an excursion carriage around the gorge.

Gembikei is famous for its dango, or sweet rice dumpling. There are many dango shops, but the most famous is the Kakko-ya, established in 1878, and its Kakko Dango, also known as the Flying Dango. You put money in a basket hanging on a cable stretched across the river and knock on a board to signal the store on the other side of the river; the basket is then pulled up to the store, and comes back flying across the river with dango and tea inside. Three types of dango are available: an ( red bean ) , goma ( sesame ) , and mitarashi ( sweet soy sauce syrup ) .

The second series which flies in the air
I saw the sights of the Ichinoseki-shi, Iwate Genbikei circumference this time.
A hot syncopation for nearly 70 minutes is 3 dumplings at 400 yen (soy sauce flavor, the sesame taste and the bean jam child taste) and in line.
3 of tea was included.
It takes for 5 minutes-10 minutes for 1 group, so when being crowded, it's attention, isn't it?
