The gorge of Kankakei (寒霞渓, Kanka-kei; literally 'cold mist valley') is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty on the island of Shōdo-shima, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.[1] Part of the Setonaikai National Park, the heights rise to 812 m.[2] The area is celebrated for its Japanese maple trees.[3] Volunteers formed a preservation society in 1898 and when, in 1912, expropriation of the area was attempted, a soy sauce magnate stepped in to ensure its preservation.[4] In 1927 Kankakei was selected as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan.[5]
