Sounkyo Gorge

Here are some photos I took in the Sounkyo Gorge.
The Cerasus sargentii are nearing full bloom.
Very gradually, the gorge is taking on fresh green coloring.
In a few days, it will be beautifully verdant.
In addition, all of Haku Jya-no-Taki Fall can now be seen just before the Byobuiwa snow shed, near the Sounkyo hot spring village. (Although not visible in the photograph, the lower part of the waterfall winds like a snake down the mountain.)
The photo on the right shows Mumei-no-Taki Fall.
Numerous waterfalls exist in Sounkyo. On days like today when there is a lot of rain, they can be seen in a many different places.
