Kiyotsu Gorge and Tunnel of Light
Waterfalls, valleys, mountain ranges and rock formations are all natural points of beauty. By themselves they are worth visiting and appreciating. However, when you add modern art to the picture, the attraction’s value goes up exponentially. Kiyotsu Gorge’s tunnel was renovated in 2018, with four decorative installations throughout that interact with, or complement the landscape.
From a photographer’s perspective, only two were really able to be captured well. The room of circular mirrors, and the now Instagram-infamous reflecting pool that overlooks the main viewing spot of the river. Sometimes social media can be overhyped, a single moment that is painstakingly staged. However, this one was definitely worth the trek.
