Kegon Falls

Kegon Falls

There are 48 waterfalls scattered around Nikko, with Kegon Falls being the most famous among them. This magnificent waterfall, where the waters of Lake Chuzenji plunge a staggering 97 meters down a sheer cliff, allows you to enjoy the grandeur and exquisite beauty created by nature. From the observation platform accessible by elevator, you can witness the powerful waterfall up close, where the crashing sound and splashes of water create a spectacular sight. In May, you can see fresh green foliage, in June, swallows flying around, and from January to February, you can admire the frozen Junitaki Falls, with the entire waterfall adorned in blue ice, allowing you to savor the changing scenery of the seasons. Kegon Falls is one of Japan's three famous waterfalls, alongside Fukuroda Falls and Nachi Falls, and Nikko is also home to other beautiful waterfalls such as Kirifuri Falls, Urami Falls, Yu Falls, and Ryuzu Falls, all of which are worth visiting.
