    A direct waterfall with a drop of 20 meters that is selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls. Although the drop is not that great, the amount of water flowing down over a wide area makes it worth seeing. Although it is a little far to the front of the waterfall, it is an easy waterfall that is not difficult to reach. There is a short chain on the rock wall on the left side of the waterfall, so you can use it to approach the waterfall. Once you cross the river on the right side, there is good footing, so it is easy to approach. It seems like you can get to the entrance by climbing this slope, but if there are other visitors, it would be best to stop. It is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance to the waterfall. Although the promenade is not paved, it is equipped with handrails and is easy to walk on. Although there are some places with ropes and chains, the path is flat and has no dangerous spots, and even elementary school students can walk on it. There's no need to worry too much about clothes. As for shoes, sneakers are fine. Parking space available. There will be roadside parking on the national highway near the entrance. The steel bridge that crosses from the national highway to the entrance seems like a light car can pass through, and you can probably park it in the space in front of the entrance. There are no toilets on site.

    It takes about 20 minutes to reach the waterfall from the parking lot. Although it is not a large waterfall, the amount of water is impressive. Unfortunately, it rained that day, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day. I'll be visiting again. Last time we pulled up early due to rainy weather, but this time we were blessed with good weather. Kuwanoki Falls has a small parking lot (for 4 to 5 cars), but the bridge that crosses the Takada River is narrow and can only be crossed by a light car, so if you are driving an ordinary car, park on the shoulder in front. It will be. There is a promenade from the parking lot, so you can get there without any difficulty, but you will need at least sneakers as you will have to cross some small rocky areas and chained areas. There are no restrooms, so we borrowed one from the Takada Natural Pool along the way. The promenade along the stream is cool, and just looking at the clear stream water is refreshing. This time, I had a great time eating lunch while looking at the waterfall.

    There was no parking lot, so I parked on the wide shoulder of the road. It took 15 minutes from there. There was also a well-marked path to the waterfall, so some people were bringing small children with them. It was nice to have plenty of water.

    It is one of the most impressive waterfalls and has been selected as one of the top 100 waterfalls. There is no parking lot, so you will have to park along the road in front of the bridge at the entrance. The road is not well maintained, so we recommend wearing sneakers. My feet are pretty bad. Please be prepared even if you have difficulty walking. The visitor, who was in his 50s, looked quite tired and had twisted his ankle... Some bridges recommended crossing one person at a time, while others had chains on the steep rocky path. It's a tough road, but the best waterfall awaits you at the end.

    I stopped by here during the Obon season. Road parking is apparently prohibited from July to August, so I parked at the Takada Natural Pool parking lot and walked. After crossing the entrance bridge, there was a grave, and after walking for about 20 minutes along the mountain path behind it, we arrived at the waterfall. I was very satisfied to see a beautiful valley and waterfall in a place rich in nature. The mountain path isn't so bad that you can't walk on it, but if you plan on going, I think it's best to wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes.

    One of Japan's top 100 waterfalls Although it was raining that day, we were able to move to Nakataki Falls in a fantastic atmosphere. There is something like a parking lot, but it feels like you can only park one car. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the waterfall, and the path is flat, but sturdy shoes are recommended. There is also a lot of water. Although I couldn't take a photo from the front, I was able to enjoy the mysterious waterfall.

    The road is difficult. Some children have drowned and died, so we do not recommend bringing children with you.

    I was on my way back from Takada Onsen. On the way to the waterfall, there are some places where your feet can be very slippery, so please wear sneakers and comfortable clothing. There are famous waterfalls with a mysterious atmosphere. There are shrine stone monuments all over the place, and the atmosphere is very nice.

    I went there on October 31, 2023, but the road was closed before entering the promenade, so I couldn't see the waterfall. I wanted to see it
