Take a Walk to Ogawa Falls
Ogawa Falls is a stunning sight whatever the season. The falls are 60 meters wide, with crystal-clear water running down a gigantic granite rockface from a height of 46 meters, forming mini waterfalls and pools of emerald-green water.
A well-kept and relatively accessible 1.2-kilometer trail connects the car park and the falls. The trail follows a clear mountain stream before opening onto the falls. In summer, the vegetation is lush and green, changing to hues of red, orange, and yellow in autumn.
In recent years Ogawa Falls has become increasingly famous after being featured in a historical drama on NHK, the Japanese national broadcaster. Weekends and national holidays bring many visitors, but the area still retains its natural charm. Takimiohashi Bridge, near the car park, is a popular spot for photographers.
