The Naginashiname River that flows through the urban area of Takigami Town is called Takigami Valley "Kinxenkyo. The Naginashiname River merges with its tributary, the Sakuru River, near the Niji-no-hashi Bridge in the center of the town, narrowing the width of the river and making it a rapid stream with numerous large and small waterfalls. Eventually, the current slows and a quiet space prevails.

Along both banks of the river, there is a foot-friendly "woodchip paved" walking trail, which can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons: fresh greenery in spring, cool shade in summer, and autumn leaves in fall. Alpine plants, various trees, and wild birds can also be seen. It is also known as a great place for bird watching, and it is often possible to see rare small birds.

The scenery of this area is brave and beautiful, and is well known as a scenic spot. Takigami Gorge "Kinzenkyo" offers guided tours by local residents (for a fee).
