Dohara Falls

This is a rare waterfall where underground water from Mt. Chokai gushes out from a rocky area on the mountainside.
This situation is called Dobara-no-taki, which is likened to the ``doppara'' of the body.

There are many spring water spots near here, one of them.
It is said that the spring water that comes from two places has a different taste on the right and on the left, so some people draw the water from the right side, some people draw the water from the left, and they mix it half and half. You can enjoy people as you like.

Ninotaki Falls

Ninotaki is located between Ichi-no-taki and San-no-taki, and there is a short trekking course between the three waterfalls. You can enjoy the wonderful scenery during the season of fresh greenery and autumn leaves, but the waterfall itself is also popular in May, when it is filled with spring snowmelt, and the frozen waterfall in winter is also spectacular.

Maruike is a quiet and beautiful pond that looks like something out of the world of Ghibli, and it looks like the lion god will appear at any moment.
The stream that runs along the walkway leading to the pond is highly transparent and the water quality is very clean, so it is also famous for having algae that only grows here, and many people come from all over the country to see this algae.
