A secluded waterfall deep within Shosenkyo Gorge
Located in the depths of Shosenkyo Gorge, Otaki Waterfall is a magnificent, 30m (nearly 100ft) tall cascading stream that cuts through the mystical Itajiki valley.
Away from the bustling trails of Shosenkyo, lose yourself in the moment as you take a stroll through this quiet sanctuary of nature and serenity, where time seems to have come at a standstill.
This hidden spot is particularly beautiful in early November when the autumn colours are at their best.
Proper footwear fit for light trekking is recommended due to a number of slippery spots in the area.
