点评:Located about 20 mins north of Nikko is this beautiful but challenging canyon walk. It begins at Ryuokyo Train Station where there is plenty of free parking.
Steep stairs lead down from the carpark to the rivers edge and to the first of many falls Nijimi Falls or Rainbow Falls. It was a beautiful sight and one of the main events for the walk. This led down to Nijimi Bridge where we had fantastic views of the gorge and river itself. It was flowing well with stunning colours and again the gorge was extremely steep and deep. We crossed the bridge to do the circuit walk and found this side to be quite challenging. It was a rough unformed track and quite muddy and there was not much to see.
By the time we reached the Musasabi Bridge which meant flying squirrel we were exhausted. Again there were excellent views from here and it seemed it was the only place we could actually see the river from.
We now headed upriver towards the viewing points. We then passed bear warning signs. This was another slog although the path was a bit more even. There was minimal signage and it was only in Japanese. After about fifteen minutes we came across two rough side tracks that led close to the cliffs edge, but due to the heavy tree growth we could not get much of a view. We could get glimpses of fantastic views of churning falls and beautiful river, but could not get any photographs.
Thankfully we passed a local who pointed out a goat track not far from Musasabi Bridge that led to another lookout. It was one of the best views of the walk looking up the winding canyon. We could believe how it was named as the Dragons Tail. It was a wonderful sight and we wished we had found it earlier and stopped here.
On the return we saw a Japanese racoon which was a highlight.
The total walk took around 2 hours and was quite demanding. Appropriate foot wear and some fitness is recommended.
翻译:这条美丽但充满挑战的峡谷步道位于日光以北约 20 分钟处。它始于龙王峡火车站,那里有很多免费停车位。
陡峭的楼梯从停车场向下延伸到河边,到达众多瀑布中的第一个 Nijimi 瀑布或彩虹瀑布。这是一个美丽的景色,也是步行的主要活动之一。这条路通向 Nijimi 桥,在那里我们可以欣赏到峡谷和河流的壮丽景色。它流淌着令人惊叹的色彩,峡谷再次非常陡峭和深邃。我们过桥进行环形步行,发现这一侧相当具有挑战性。这是一条崎岖不平的未成形道路,泥泞不堪,没有什么可看的。
当我们到达 Musasabi 桥时,也就是飞鼠桥,我们已经筋疲力尽了。从这里再次可以看到绝佳的景色,似乎这是我们唯一可以真正看到河流的地方。
我们现在向上游的观景点走去。然后我们经过了熊警告标志。虽然路稍微平坦一些,但这次又是一次艰难跋涉。路标很少,而且只有日文。大约十五分钟后,我们遇到了两条通往悬崖边缘的崎岖小路,但由于树木茂密,我们看不到太多风景。我们可以瞥见湍急的瀑布和美丽的河流的壮丽景色,但无法拍照。
值得庆幸的是,我们经过了一位当地人,他指出了一条距离 Musasabi 桥不远的山羊小路,通往另一个了望台。这是沿着蜿蜒的峡谷向上走时最好的景色之一。我们简直不敢相信它被命名为龙尾。这是一个美妙的景象,我们希望早点发现它并在这里停下来。
回来时,我们看到了一只日本浣熊,这是一个亮点。
整个步行大约需要 2 个小时,而且相当艰难。建议穿合适的鞋子并保持一定的体能。
