雄川の滝


幅60メートル、高さ46メートルのこの壮大な滝は、連なる清流と岩の水溜まりをたどる遊歩道の終着地にある自然の驚異です。夏の緑豊かな植生は、秋には赤、オレンジ、黄色の色相に変わります。遊歩道のクライマックスはこの滝で、水が幾何学的な岩の上を段状に流れ、滝つぼに落ちる様子を眺めることができます。条件が合えば、滝つぼは鮮やかなエメラルドグリーンに変わります。この現象は降水量が少ない時期に最もよくみられます。


Ogawa Falls


The grand falls are 60 meters wide and 46 meters tall, a natural wonder at the end of a walking trail that follows a series of clear streams and rock pools. In summer, the vegetation is lush and green, changing to hues of red, orange, and yellow in fall. The trail culminates in the waterfalls, where visitors can gaze at the water cascading over geometric rocks into the plunge pool beneath. If the conditions are just right the pool turns a vivid emerald green, which is most pronounced in periods with limited rainfall.
