Ena Gorge 恵那峡 (Gifu Prefecture)
Japan
Ena Gorge is not a natural gorge, it is actually a dam. If you ignore some of the dam like features, it is pretty cool. Water is a nice colour. Nearby is a shoddy theme park built in the 80s and a random pyramid. A lot of oddities, something for everyone.
A very chill walk around the peninsula-like thing.
