Settsukyo Gorge, Takatsuki, Osaka

Settsu-kyo is a scenic area in the Osaka/Hokusetsu region, with a gorge where you can experience the full splendor of nature. It is located in the upper-mid section of the basin of the Akutagawa river which crosses the center of Takatsuki city from north to south. The park consists entirely of mountains and forests, and covers an expanse of 42.65 hectares. (https://www.takatsuki-kankou.org/settsukyo/en/index.html)

Thought it’s in Osaka, it’s one station from Kyoto by JR Special Rapid.

“A good place to get away from people”
