Over the course of many years, countless potholes of all sizes have been created by the raging river that stretches across the bottom of the gorge for about 2km. It is a recommended spot for viewing fresh greenery and autumn leaves.
It is a natural formation made up of the clear waters of the Yamakuni River, the decaying andesite that spreads across the entire riverbed, and small pebbles.
The name "Sarutobi" comes from the fact that long ago, mountain monkeys would appear and jump from rock to rock.
Designated as a national natural monument, the scenic spots of "Marin Gorge" and "Nenbutsu Bridge" are located downstream, and Marin Gorge, also known as "Takachiho" of the mountainous region, displays mysterious beauty in all four seasons.
