About This Destination

A dramatic river gorge with emerald-green water and towering crystalline schist cliff walls along the Yoshino River, best experienced by sightseeing boat.

Oboke Gorge stretches over two kilometers along the Yoshino River in western Tokushima. Rushing water carved this channel through crystalline schist over millions of years. The cliff walls show green, blue, and grey striations in the metamorphic rock; the river below is an intense emerald green. Sightseeing boats run 30-minute cruises—you sit on tatami mats and drift past the rock formations at water level. It's a National Natural Monument. Autumn is the popular season, when the surrounding mountains turn red and gold. Together with Koboke Gorge and the Iya Valley, this is Shikoku's main gorge country.
