Located in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture, Genbi-kei Gorge—designated a Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument of Japan—stretches for two kilometers along the Iwai River.
Winding through a rugged chasm of water-sculpted stone, the turquoise waters of the Iwai River carve a dramatic path framed by a brilliant autumn canopy. On the right, fiery beech and maple leaves glow in shades of russet, copper, and vermilion, creating a vivid counterpoint to the deep green pines clinging to the dark, mossy rock faces on the left. A soft, silvery mist settles over the distant bend of the ravine, partially shrouding a narrow suspension bridge in atmospheric haze. The scene evokes a vivid sensory atmosphere: the cool, sharp autumn air of Iwate Prefecture, the roaring spray of rushing white water, the earthy scent of damp basalt and fallen leaves, and the quiet reverence of a secluded mountain gorge.
Carved out over millennia through the erosion of volcanic tuff, the ravine is celebrated for its dramatic rock formations, cascading rapids, and unusual cylindrical potholes (ketsugun) worn smooth by tumbling pebbles. Historically, the gorge was admired by Date Masamune, the legendary warlord and founder of the Sendai Domain, who praised its raw, untamed beauty as equal to the famed pine-clad islands of Matsushima. Beyond its dramatic geography, Genbi-kei is famous for its delightful local heritage, including flying dango (Kakko Dango), where teahouse orders of fresh rice dumplings and green tea are sent gliding across the canyon to visitors in a wooden basket suspended on a cable high above the water.

ICE is arresting a record number of pregnant women and teenagers, according to government documents obtained by the Guardian. At the same time, the agency appears to have lost count of how many suffered a miscarriage. 🧵
Two charts side by side. The first shows the number of pregnant people in ICE detention, which peaks in November 2025. The second shows the number of miscarriages recorded by ICE, until October 2025, when ICE said it has no updated information on the number of miscarriages.
