Tōsenkyō

Japan

Tōsenkyō is a gorge in Ibusuki, Kagoshima Prefecture, in southern Japan. It stands southwest of the Ikeda Lake. The name Tōsenkyō is derived from a place known as Tōsen-ga-saka, which had a deep cove in the Edo period (1603–1868) where many Chinese ships came to anchor in (tōsen means Chinese ships).
