That is one cool guy!
Look at that beard!
That's amazing!
Three cameras on one ticket purchase
Today we're at Geibi Gorge in Iwate
It's supposed to be one of the most picturesque spots in Tohoku
And judging by the pictures I saw on Google
It does look quite good
Back in 1927 Japanese government came up with a list of a hundred iconic landscapes across Japan.
Today, I'm visiting Geibikei Gorge with Odigo Travel to find out why it made that list.
This is so cool!!
Yeah it is
Whose idea was this?
Chris
It was me
So subtle
How much was this? 14 dollars per person?
16?
16 dollars per person
And you can ride a boat for an hour
An hour!
And not just a boat we got hands!
A hand-boat
A hand-boat!
From this angle it looks like he's spearing Rachel's face
Got to throw some money in
100 yen
Shit!!!
That was officially the closest I've ever been to a duck
Fantastic!
It's like something out of Lord of the Rings
Absolutely huge, this gorge, it's about 100 meters high...alright I just made that up
It looks about 100 meters high
And apparently we've got to throw some rocks into a hole in the gorge
I don't know what happens, apparently good luck
But, let's go and see
I don't know how I can actually do it
Alright guys what should we choose?
Oh these are really cute
There's one for love
Go on Sharla you can do it?
There's no way you can miss this
Oh no!!
That's really hard!!
So, five stones
One hole, let me show you how it's done
That was a test shot
Alright that was a second try
That was a practice
Come on come on come on!
Ooooh come on!!!
Oh come on!!!!
It was like..THAT close!
Gonna have to use special effects to make it look like I got it in
I'll use special effects or something
And then i'll say
"Oh I've got it in!"
"It went straight in the hole, it's amazing!"
"I can't believe it!"
"I can't believe I've got the rock in the hole"
"It was amazing"
Apparently last week there was a typhoon
It came around this area
And actually damaged the gorge so they're quickly trying to repair it
It's time like this I wish I'd been a digger operator
Looks bloody good fun
To say this is relaxing would be an understatement
It's so.....well apart from the digger, it's so calm
It's cool, you come out of Sendai
Drive out of a major city for an hour and bang your in a gorge!
Absolutely stunning, I'd go so far as to say it's gorgeous
Gorgeous..
It's a pun isn't it?
I feel like a changed man
That was a really pleasant journey
It felt like meditating or something
The singing, the smell of fresh water, the view... it was all rather pleasant
So Geibikei Gorge, I'd say it lives up to the reputation, it's absolutely stunning
If you're ever in Tohoku or Iwate, definitely come and check it out!
And right now, I'm pretty hungry, I'm gonna head off and...gorge on some cheese, so..
..."Gorge"
Clever wasn't it?
It's a pun
"Gorge!"
Geibikei Gorge is absolutely stunning but if you can't make it all the way up to Tohoku
Japan has numerous gorges dotted throughout the country
You can find a full list of the gorges
