In the secluded mountainous area of Mutsu City, Aomori Prefecture, there is a mysterious gorge called the Sanzu River. The Milky Way flowing from the Lake Usori fills the air with the scent of sulfur, creating a fantastic scenery.
A stone bridge known as the Drum Bridge spans the Sanzu River, but entry is closed due to aging. On both sides of the bridge, there are statues of Deaiuba and Kakeibaoku. These two are guardians of Buddhism, responsible for safeguarding the travelers of the afterlife. Their duty is to allow the souls of the deceased to travel between this world and the afterlife.
The water of the Sanzu River is clear and transparent, but the landscapes reflected on this pristine surface are strangely eerie. The atmosphere filled with the scent of sulfur and the foam bubbling up from the bottom of Lake Usori seem to crawl out from the abyss. Furthermore, the water in this gorge contains so much sulfur that fish cannot survive.
The Sanzu River is located at the foot of Mt. Osore, just 500 meters from the tourist attraction of Mt. Osore Bodaiji Temple. When visiting the sacred site of Mt. Osore, why not enjoy this mysterious scenery as well? It is also a pleasure to imagine the entrance to the world of the dead, surrounded by the scent of sulfur. There is a small parking lot here, making it easy to make a stop.
