Taisyakukyo

It is a wallpaper photograph of the beautiful autumnal leaves of Taisyakukyo in Hiroshima Prefecture.

Taisyaku by which Taisyakukyo is in the northeast part of Hiroshima Prefecture, and Jinsekikogen-cho, Jinseki-gun, and it was specified as scenic spot specification of a country in 1923, and it is specified as Hiba-Dogo-Taishaku Quasi-National Park in 1963 -- it is a riverside canyon The altitude of Taisyakukyo currently locally called 5 [ Japanese ] Ohazama is about 370m near a Sinryu lake parking lot. It is said that it is a figure of the present Taisyakukyo that the deep ravine has been formed with running water from the first after the rock containing the lime ingredient which the coral reef formed from the about 300 million years before grade made upheaving, and Taisyakukyo's appearing on the surface of the earth and forming a karst plateau. One of the proof of the is a limestone called Woolite near the Sakura bridge in along a Sinryu lake. It seems that moreover, the rock at the time is seen near a Sinryu lake as volcanic activity had also happened 70 million years ago. It seems that upstream Kamitaisyaku generally serves as a tourist route from the Sinryu lake although the full length of Taisyakukyo continues over about 25km. By some which are coming from Taisyakuten, the origin of the name of Taisyakukyo has in an entrance Taisyakuten-Eimyoji in which Gyoki has deified Taisyakuten in the temple of the Shingon sect which serves as the founder in 709. The autumnal leaves near [ which becomes main also in Taisyakukyo ] a Sinryu lake have been taken a walk by the Sinryu bridge cuff this time. A Sinryu lake is a human-made lake which appeared by the Taisyaku river dam completed in 1924. There is this lake that praises water as sewing a deep ravine the circumference of 24km, and about 8km in full length, and the total pondage is 13,304,600 cubic meters. The Taisyaku river dam aiming at water-power generation is a gravity type concrete dam, and has become power generation city water of those with the bank quantity 62.1m, and Taisyaku river plant. Moreover, the circumference of the Sinryu lake praises the ravine beauty of the precipitous cliff, and can see this precipitous cliff close at hand from a pleasure boat. Although it did not drop in due to time this time, there is Onbashi said to be counted with the natural treasure on the world 3 major natural bridges in the Kamitaisyaku upper stream. This is what the limestone was hollowed and became arch-like with running water, and, seemingly, this natural bridge has 90m in length, 19m in width, and no less than 40m in height.
