Janokuchinotaki Falls, Yakushima-cho

5.0

#10 of 13 in Nature in Yakushima-cho

Waterfall Nature / Park

Pack a swimsuit and hike up a narrow mountain trail that leads to Janokuchinotaki Falls, cascading from a granite monolith into an emerald pool. This tranquil spot hidden within a subtropical forest lies off the beaten paths, so don't lose the sight of the pink tape and be careful not to wander off the road. You will have to cross the river several times and go through a swampy area, so wear sturdy shoes. Consider visiting the nearby hot springs on the way back.

  登山で3時間ほど歩かないといけない滝ですが行く価値は高いところです。途中に苔むした岩々や木々がとても癒されます。 大きな岩の上を流れる滝はなんとも不思議な風景です。  more »

  Worth a visit is the waterfall by climbing about three hours necessary to walk is high. Along the way, Mossy rocks and trees are very soothing. Waterfall flowing over a large rock and magical landscapes.
