I visited on a fine autumn day. When walking on the promenade in the woods along a gentle slope for a while, the road becomes rather steep, The Yasunotaki waterfall starts to appear from the tree. It is near the noon, and the sun was shining in the falls. The waterfall looking up from the waterfall pot is also good, but I think that the view from the side that climbed the path of the left hand facing the waterfall is the best. A white waterfall on the autumnal leaves of Nishiki, a wonderful moment. Since it is an area of bear, be careful with turns especially not to come across.

It will be closed to traffic in 2024. However, even in normal times, the 5km distance to the parking lot is a narrow dirt road. I went in September to avoid the huge crowds during the fall foliage season, but the water level was so low that I could just lie down near the basin of the waterfall. It would be best to avoid it when the weather continues to be sunny. You'll have to walk a bit along the trekking course, but it's refreshing as it's along a stream.

A tiered waterfall with a drop of 90m flowing into Nakanomatasawa. It has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls. The name ``An'' is the name of a woman who threw herself into the waterfall, and there is a tragic love story that remains. After that, it is a well-maintained tourist waterfall that became a place for love fulfillment. It is about 1.9km from the entrance to the waterfall, and takes about 25 to 30 minutes. Basically, the promenade is well maintained. Be careful as there are some places where the footing is narrow. If you proceed further from the lower waterfall, you can reach the upper waterfall and the lower waterfall entrance. Although the road is a little rough, there are signs that the road has been maintained. Climbing and winding the upper level is the realm of advanced climbers, and although it's not that great, there's no atmosphere in which you can climb. I don't think it's possible to go to Kaminagaguchi from here. It's a very irregular route, but it will take you to Kamidakuguchi. You can reach it by filling up Momodosawa and entering Nakanomatasawa. The distance is approximately 8.8 km from the Wild Birds and Wildlife Center to Ochiguchi, and more than half of the route involves mountain climbing, which requires a certain level of skill and physical strength. It's a place that you can't just go to as a tourist. Wear clothes that are easy to move in and do not expose your skin. It is possible to wear sneakers, but it is easier if you wear light mountain climbing shoes. There is a parking lot that can accommodate 20 cars and a toilet.

It's a waterfall. (Scenic spots) It has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls and has two tiers, with a height of approximately 90 meters. Here are some things to keep in mind when visiting for the first time. I would appreciate it if you could refer to it as it is important. ① Please note that the promenade will not be closed from July 1st to September 30th, 2020 due to construction work, so please be aware of this when visiting. Also, as it is a very mountainous road and the area is difficult to melt snow, it seems that it is closed to traffic from November to April every year. It seems to change depending on the weather, so it's best to check in advance. ②There is a mountain path to the waterfall. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes one way from the parking lot to the waterfall. Even if the weather is sunny, there are many places along the way that are muddy. We recommend wearing shoes that you don't mind getting dirty and clothes that are easy to move in. ③There are a lot of insects, so I don't think it's suitable for people who are afraid of insects. It seems like there are bears out there, so it's a good idea to bring something that makes noise. ④There are no vending machines. Also, you'll be walking a lot and will use a lot of physical energy, so it's a good idea to prepare plenty of water. ⑤ Radio waves are out of range. ⑥The road to the parking lot is about 6km of gravel road. Since it is far from the station, I think you will need a car to access it. The road is a little narrow, so you should be careful when driving. As for my impressions after visiting, it was a place I had wanted to visit for a while because I was impressed by the scenery I saw in a travel magazine. I visited in early June, and it was a refreshing place with fresh greenery and the sound of cicadas. It took about 30 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the waterfall on my own, but along the way there was a river flowing beside me, and the sound of the river was pleasant and cool. If you look closely at the river, you can see fish with the naked eye, and you can see various plants, so it was fun to be in touch with nature. As mentioned above, the waterfall had a two-tiered structure. There is a signboard and explanation of Yasu Falls near the first step. There were also benches where you could rest. It was a long and powerful waterfall with a two-tiered structure and was worth seeing. The road is a bit steep, but after about 5 minutes you can see the second waterfall up close. The second waterfall had thin, white thread-like spray, and the water falling was beautiful. I was able to see it up close and feel the water spray from the waterfall. It felt nice and cold. I was moved to see a large and powerful waterfall up close. I would like to visit in autumn as the autumn leaves look beautiful. Also, when the weather is nice, the water splashes and light reflections make it look like a rainbow. I couldn't see it this time, so I'd like to see it next time. It was a little difficult to drive and walk, but it was worth seeing. I could feel the nature.

It is ranked 2nd in Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, and boasts a two-tiered waterfall with a total height of 90 meters. The mountain road leading to Yasu no Taki parking lot was very narrow and in most places only one car could pass. It takes about 45 minutes from the parking lot to reach our destination, the waterfall, and the beech forest stretches out along the way, making it very beautiful. First you will reach the lower waterfall, which has a drop of about 30 meters. If you continue up the mountain from the right side of the lower waterfall, you will reach the upper waterfall, which is 60 meters high. If you walk for another 10 minutes, you can reach the upper waterfall. The upper waterfall is impressive, and a rainbow can be seen on sunny afternoons. The basin of the waterfall was large and I swam there. This waterfall is powerful, very beautiful, and I think it's a very impressive waterfall, so please go and see it.
