Naena Falls

Naena Falls is a spectacular waterfall selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, boasting a height of 55 meters. It flows over the Sekigawa River, which marks the border between Niigata and Nagano Prefectures, and it is especially beautiful during the spring snowmelt and autumn foliage seasons. In the past, the thunderous sound of the falls was felt like an earthquake, which is why it is also known as "Earthquake Falls." A walking path has been established, making it accessible from the parking lot to the viewing platform in about 15 minutes on foot. Naena Falls features basalt columns, known as columnar jointing, and offers a therapeutic experience as visitors can stroll through nature.
