雄川の滝展望所

Absolutely stunning and beautiful! Definitely recommend the view from the basin over the observation deck. There's a small cafe at the basin, and a 20 minute walk to reach the tranquil view of the waterfall basin. Add Ogawa Falls to your itinerary if visiting Kanoya!

Beautiful

The road to get there was very narrow, but since it was the Obon holiday when I went, there were guards on the narrow road to guide me, so I was able to get there very smoothly. The parking lot is clean and the promenade leading to the waterfall is well maintained and easy to walk, but it can be slippery after rain. We were able to go down to the river on the way, and some people even took a dip. You cannot go down near the waterfall, but there are observation facilities built so you can see it. Although there wasn't much water, the water at the waterfall basin was very clean and nice.

It's beautiful anyway. The photo is the final location. You cannot get off here, but there are places along the way where you can get off at the riverside, so you can enjoy it. I think it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to reach the final spot in the photo. From July 2020? Looks like there's an entrance fee now. It's not that expensive. There is a place called the "Upstream Observation Deck" that you need to be careful about, but I think your car navigation system will generally direct you to the Upstream Observation Deck. I went there too. However, there was a signboard at the upstream observatory with directions to the observatory in the photo, so I followed it. If you look closely, there are signs posted at various places on the road, so if you look carefully while driving, you will be able to get there. Also, please be aware that the road for about 1 to 2 km before reaching the observatory parking lot is very narrow. It was fine for me, but women who drive large vehicles such as minivans and are not good at driving may not like it.

The promenade is concrete-paved and well-maintained, and with the shade of trees, it's cool and comfortable ✨ The shape of the rock at Ogawa Falls is unique and majestic. The emerald green water surface is also amazing ✨ On the way, we went down to the riverbank and played in the water. "It's packed ♡" It's so deep in the mountains that it can only be reached by car, The road to the parking lot is narrow and difficult. For drinks, aqua base Daidai Squash is a must ✨
