Beautiful walk. We started from the car park second closest (1.5km) from the waterfall and even after trying to work out the signs we returned to our car in 50 minutes. The closer car park is only 1.1km, so park there. It is only about a 5-7 minute walk between the car parks. Bit of water and tunnels are dark so wear appropriate shoes (we have asics trail shoes) and used our smartphone cameras.

The gorge and the waterfall were beautiful. The path follows the river upwards from the dam. There are some dark tunnels on the way, and a rest-shelter a small climb up from the main pathway a bit after the waterfall. At the time of writing (June 2024) the path is closed further up the river after the waterfall, shelter and a small shrine.

We came here on 11 Nov. It was a beautiful trail though the peak of fall foliage has past a week ago. There was repairing work near the entrance and there was heavy rain a day before, thus making the trail lots of muddy water pots. There were not many tourists in the early morning. The sunlight should be better for phototaking near noon. Maybe, the fall foliage peak had past, the parking was free. A 300 Yen parking fee was charged during the fall foliage season.

One of the most beautiful places I've seen. Seems like it's out of a movie set. Quiet and not crowded. Note that hiking to the waterfall takes 30 mins single way.
