  • Genbudo (Toyooka City, Hyogo)

The site is classified among the most beautiful natural monuments and it will surely dazzle you. This setting seems heavenly with caves and cliffs. All this was formed after the eruption of a volcano more than a million years ago , the solidified magma creates unique shapes, on which the action of erosion brings its final touch. Everything can be admired and visited in this park from which masses of hydrangeas emerge at the end of June.
