由布川峡谷（由布市）
YUFUGAWA GORGE / Yufu City
由布川峡谷 （由布市）
由布川峡谷は、別府市と由布市にまたがる全長約12kmの壮大な峡谷です。谷の幅は狭く、両岸には高さ15〜60mの険しい崖がそびえ立ち、岩肌を伝って40本以上の滝が流れ落ちる様子は圧巻。その美しい景観は、「東洋のチロル」とも称されています。
峡谷内は夏でも涼しく、豊かな緑と岩壁に囲まれた道を歩けば、静寂のなかに水と風の音だけが響きます。一方で、水に脚を浸しながら進む「沢歩き」や、軽量ボートに乗って川を下る「パックラフト」などのアクティビティも楽しめます。
「猿渡入り口」周辺は、水害からの復旧によって整備され、以前よりも立ち寄りやすくなりました。なお、雨天時や増水時には立ち入りが制限されることがあるため、『はさま由布川峡谷観光協会』への事前の確認をおすすめします。
YUFUGAWA GORGE / Yufu City
The Yufugawa Gorge is a magnificent gorge stretching about 12 km, and spanning Beppu and Yufu City. The gorge is narrow, with steep cliffs rising between 15–60 m high on either side, and more than 40 waterfalls tumbling down the rocky faces. The breathtaking scenery has earned it the nickname ‘Tyrol of the East’.
The gorge remains cool even in summer, and walking along the paths, surrounded by lush greenery and towering rock walls, the only sounds you will hear are the gentle rush of water and the whisper of the wind. On the other hand, for those seeking adventure, activities like ‘stream walking’, where you dip your feet in the water, and ‘Packrafting’, which involves paddling along the river in a lightweight inflatable boat, are also available.
The area around the Saruwatari Entrance has been restored after flood damage, making it more accessible than before. Please be aware that access to the area may be restricted during rainy weather or high–water levels, so it is advisable to check with the Hasama Yufugawa Gorge Tourist Association before visiting.
