Minoh Falls

A majestic 33-meter high waterfall selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls." It appears after a 40-minute walk along the well-maintained "Takimichi" path from Minoh Station, accompanied by the sound of the stream. The contrast between the white water flowing down the rocky cliff and the surrounding deep greenery or autumn maples is as beautiful as a painting. Spending time enveloped in the negative ions from the waterfall is a special experience that purifies the mind and body.
