What other travelers are saying about Kanmangafuchi Abyss
It's a long walk to get there and the Buddha statues with the hats and aprons are not really worth it (especially if you visited Kyoto before where you can see similar statues in many places). We went there because we didn't have enough time to go to the lake and the falls and we finished with the Nikko temples and shrines. The walk itself is nice and there's a beautiful river view at the abyss which is very nice so it's recommended for nature lovers.
Serene but slightly sinister alley alongside the river with all the guardian statues meant to protect travelers and young children (souls of). Worth the walk though the residential neighborhood to pay respect and see the statues for yourself.
This temple is the branch of Rinnoji temple. It is quite far to walk from Rinnoji temple.
A lot of buddhas along the path make here sacredly to visit.
Moreover, there is a small waterfall down from Kegon waterfall to fulfill this place.
Delightful walking path along a beautiful rushing river much leas busy than other similar destinations. It’s a long walking path with entrances on both ends it seems, we entered one way and reached the end then traced our steps back to the entrance.
This is my favourite spot in Nikko. So peaceful and beautiful. Walkable from Bus stops 8 and 10 or take the Green Slow Mobility (which is red btw) which drops you right at the Abyss. The frequency for the green slow mobility is limited so it's best to check the schedule in advance. Santenamataro, one stop from the Abyss, is a recommended stop for lunch along the river.
