Dorokyo
Travelling from Shingu to Hongu down Kumanogawa (Kumano river), where along the way will be presented incredible scenery, Kumanogawa with clear water, winding penetrating green lush hills. Each curve presents a surprise breathtaking sight.

And will be great if in the middle of the trip stopped by on Shiko for a jet boat ride, go deeper into the middle of beautiful Kitagawa, a tributary of Kumanogawa, to a place called Dorokyo (Doro Gorge)
Jet boat on Dorokyo
Dorokyo known as one of the most beautiful secluded gorge in Japan. Towering cliffs and uniquely shaped rock formations, dissected by emerald colored streams of Kitagawa. This gorge located in Yoshino-Kumano National Park, runs along the border of Wakayama, Nara and Mie prefectures.

Dorokyo can be reached by 2 hours jet boat ride from Shiko. When the weather is good, as it approached Dorokyo, jet boat roof will be opened, so we can enjoy the beauty of the rock cliffs with unique shape.
