Soyokyo Nakayama Dam is located in the upper reaches of the Gokase River, Japan's cleanest river. It is part of the Aso Geopark. You can enjoy it according to the season from spring to autumn. The meeting place is the former Soyo Town Hall, now the Soyokyo General Branch Office. It is about 30 minutes from Minamiaso and 40 minutes from Takachiho. The boarding point is a little difficult to drive because it is a narrow road that winds down, so we will travel by our company's car. Morning departures are at 9:30 and afternoon departures are at 13:00. There is almost no current, so it is perfect for first-time canoeing experience. We set out from the edge of the dam lake and head for the waterfall downstream. We take photos with the spray of the waterfall and the pleasant breeze of negative ions right in front of us! There we take a drink break while still in the canoe (one drink per person). From there, we go back upstream and go further upstream than the boarding point! It is said that Aso was formed 90,000 years ago, and in that time it has become full of power spots, such as the rock surfaces carved by the river, trees that stand embracing large stones, and an unnamed waterfall that is stepped but about 80m high. Experience the charm of Soyo Gorge, a hidden area in the southeast of the outer rim of Mt. Aso, upstream of Takachiho Gorge, the village of the gods, through a canoe.
