Ena Gorge

Ena Gorge (恵那峡, Ena-kyō) is a river valley located at the mid reaches of the Kiso River, which runs through the cities of Ena and Nakatsugawa in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

Ena Gorge was so named by Shiga Shigetaka, a geographer of that time who praised the harmony of the mysteriously shaped rocks, which appeared to be continuous with the lakeside vista of Ōi Dam.

Ena-kyo Ohashi Bridge spans Ena Gorge.

The rock gets its name from the bottom part, which is narrow like an umbrella.

And was shaped by weathering and erosion caused by water and rainfall.
