I was impressed with the view and long waterfall. There is a parking space for only dozen cars. No toilet. A hiking trail to nearby mountain starts at the bottom of the waterfall. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the top main trail, and the viewing deck.

Not a big waterfall but a continue stream of cold water.

The sight of nature is amazing. Some people were seriously taking pictures with cameras. Since it was in the middle of nature, there were no shops. There was no parking lot, just space for a few cars. There was a place to have a barbecue along the way. The only thing left is a shrine. There were gnats and flies flying around, so you might need insect repellent in the summer. Also, the road to the shrine is steep, so you'll need to wear non-slip shoes.

Is it okay to use Google Maps to get to the waterfall itself? I was quite confused. Although there is a road, it doesn't seem to be well maintained and there are broken branches and other things strewn about the road, so I had a hard time navigating the narrow road. When I looked at the waterfall alone, it seemed relaxing, but there were a lot of mosquitoes, so I thought I'd need insect repellent spray.

The road leading to the waterfall is a bit narrow and difficult, but you can drive right in front of the waterfall. There is no parking lot, but there is a fair amount of space in front, so you can park 3 to 4 cars. You can climb to the top if you are careful about your footing.
