Kakkou Dango
A wooden basket glides smoothly along a rope crossing the gorge. If you tap the board and wait after inserting your money, it returns to you with tea and dango—this is the famous 'Flying Dango' of Genbikyo Gorge. This unique way of selling is a local attraction where baskets travel back and forth on a wire from the Kakkou-ya shop on the opposite bank. It is said that the shop's name originates from the founder, Chiba Torikichi, being a master at imitating the call of a cuckoo. The dango come in three varieties: red bean, black sesame, and soy sauce. Each skewer holds five dumplings, which is said to be a nod to the fact that this area was once known as 'Gokushi Village.' Enjoy a skewer while gazing at the scenery of continuous, magnificent rock formations. Please make it an unforgettable memory of your journey.
