Chongjin Gorge has beautiful scenery and the tunnel is worth checking out. However, the distance is more suitable for self-driving travel. If you are not afraid of walking, it is also worth a visit.

Qingjin Gorge is really beautiful. Although it is a bit far, it is really worth a visit. There are no tickets for sale on site during the Land Art Festival, so be sure to confirm your train schedule and book your tickets online before setting off.

It is convenient to redeem the ticket, but there were no red leaves at the time when I went there. The tour can be completed in about an hour, and the transportation is inconvenient. It is recommended to drive there by yourself.

This experience was beyond my expectations and was incredibly beautiful. we took a train from Aomori station and hired a taxi at Echigo-Yuzawa station to Kiyotsu Gorge. Purchasing tickets on Klook saved us from having to wait in a long line and we beat the crowds and had the opportunity to experience the views without the crowds. we arrived there at 10am and when we left at 12noon it was crowded with tour buses.
