Oboke Gorge (Sightseeing Boat)
大歩危・小歩危峡Tokushima · Shikoku
Oboke Gorge is a dramatic canyon carved by the Yoshino River, best seen from the sightseeing boat that departs from the Mannaka complex for a ~30-minute round trip past sculpted rock walls. Koboke, the adjacent upstream stretch, is viewed from the train and road rather than by boat.
