Kanmangafuchi Abyss

Kanmangafuchi Abyss is a gorge in the beautiful mountain city of Nikko and was formed by an eruption of nearby Mount Nantai. This gorge near central Nikko is only a few hundred meters long but is known for its row of about 70 stone statues of Jizo, a Bodhisattva who cares for the deceased. This particular group of Jizo statues is is sometimes called "Bake Jizo" and it is said that if you count them one way the number will be different if you count the other way.
