- 嚴美溪是由自栗駒山流入一關市內的磐井川，歷經漫長時間侵蝕形成的國家名勝及天然紀念物。在綿延約二公里的翡翠色水流中，可以見到奇岩、巨岩、壺穴、深淵、瀑布等「靜」與「動」的溪谷美。春天有淡紅色的櫻花，夏天有清爽的綠色，秋天有火紅的紅葉，冬天有莊嚴的雪景。四季皆有不同美景的嚴美溪，讓仙台藩主伊達政宗公曾經讚道「松島與嚴美乃我領土之二大名勝」 arved out over aeons by the Iwai River as it runs from Mt. Kurikoma and through the town of Ichinoseki, Genbikei, or Genbi Gorge, is one of Japan’s most scenic natural monuments. Lining a 2-km stretch of the emerald-green stream are oddly shaped and gigantic boulders, potholes, abysses and waterfalls, offering astoundingly beautiful scenery that’s both calm and dynamic. In springtime, light-pink cherry blossoms adorn the gorge. Summer sees the scenery slide into a rich green, followed by burning orange and red in autumn, and a majestic snowscape in winter. Awed by the overwhelming beauty the gorge displayed each season, according to legend, Masamune Date, lord of the Sendai Clan, said that Matsushima and Genbi Gorge were the Sendai territory’s two most beautiful spots.
- 1. 壺穴 Oketsu (potholes)
- 壺穴是河川中的細沙或碎石順著水流打轉，不斷磨蝕巨岩而形成的圓洞。河底受到長時間的侵蝕，原先在水中的圓洞浮現在地表之上，便是我們看到的壺穴 Oketsu, or potholes, are round holes in gigantic rocks, drilled by swirling particles of sand and gravel from the river as it travels downstream. Over the years the stream eroded the bottom of the river, revealing rocks that used to be underwater.
- 2. 御覽場橋 Goranba Bridge
- 在橫跨嚴美溪的長者瀧橋、天工橋、御覽場橋和鈴振橋中，「御覽場橋」是唯一的一座吊橋。每到春天，傳說為仙台藩主伊達政宗公親手種下的「貞山櫻」都會綻放美麗的花朵，為溪谷增添色彩。橋的上流，是奇岩、巨岩等震撼人心的景觀；橋的下流，則是深淵等沉靜的風景 Of all the bridges spanning the Genbikei Gorge – Chojataki Bridge, Tengu Bridge, Goranba Bridge, and Suzufuri Bridge – Goranba Bridge is the only suspension bridge. In spring, the gorge is adorned with Teizan cherry blossoms in full bloom, trees said to have been planted by Masamune Date, lord of the Sendai Clan. Gaze upstream from the bridge and you’ll catch dramatic scenery of bizarre and gigantic rocks, while the view downstream is of the serene landscape of the deep river. The suspension bridge is indeed full of suspense – as you’ll discover when it rocks unsettlingly with every step you take!
- 3. 郭公屋「飛天糰子 Flying Dango」
- 嚴美溪的名產《郭公屋》飛天「郭公糰子」，在涼亭把零錢放入竹籃中，然後用槌子敲打木板，隔著《嚴美溪》對岸的店家會沿著繩索拉回竹籃，再把裝有糰子、茶的竹籃一路飛降下來 At one of the most popular viewpoints of the gorge at the beginning of the path, you will see a rope and a basket hanging from it near a pavilion. The long rope is connected to a dango shop called Kakkoya located on the other side of the gorge. The flying dango works like a paper cup phone, but instead of voice, you will have sweets delivered to you in a basket, through a rope. Simply place ¥400 in the basket, hit the gong to let the shop know you’ve paid, and a staff will start pulling the rope to receive the basket. Very shortly after, your order will fly to you in the same bucket. As thoughtful as Japanese hospitality is, you will also get green tea with your order of dango.
