Situated in the western part of Yakushima and selected among Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, "Ohoko Falls" is a grand, magnificent waterfall representing the island, boasting an overwhelming volume of water and the largest drop on the island at about 88 meters, continuously awing nature-minded global travelers. The sight of massive amounts of water crashing down violently along a steep, giant cliff of granite while producing a thunderous roar and fierce white spray is pure power. Because visitors can walk remarkably close to the plunge pool, you can directly feel abundant negative ions and a cool, refreshing breeze against your entire body, deeply purifying your mind and soul. It is a premier power spot to experience Earth's majestic water cycle and natural vitality through all five senses.
