Beautiful all around, well-deserved spot on 1 of the 3 best waterfalls in Japan! View is breathtaking, sound is powerful and the overall gorge/waterfall/forest combination makes it truly a sight to behold! The elevator down is worth the ride - you ‘ll ‘feel’ the waterfall way better, and perhaps get a little sprinkled. Regardless of taking the elevator or not, it’s really a sight to behold!

It costs ¥570 to take the elevator down to the falls. The three levels on the observation deck was plenty of space but the bottom one had the best view. The rock formations were breathtaking and the waterfall looked surreal

Beautiful even in the winter time. Very quiet with little to no one there. I was easily able to incorporate this into a day trip from Tokyo using the Tobu buses. Highly recommend to see!!

Beside Kegon waterfall, don't miss the sightseeing boat cruise at Chuzenji Lake too! You will be amazed. It's really worth an hour trip to watch these beautiful red leaves scenery. Visited: Oct 26, 2023.

From my travel diary "It was cold, and we finally had lunch. We then set of for and area called Lake Chuzenji. It is about 40 minutes from Nikko by bus and a long winding mountainous drive indeed. It is very high and when we got out at Chuzenji-onsen stop it was freezing. The lake was formed 15000 years ago by a volcanic eruption and leads to a water fall. We took a lift down a tunnel that goes for 100 meters and from where we could view the frozen Kegon Falls". What an adventure

Beautiful falls- I would imagine it looks great in every season! Not too taxing of a walk. There is an elevator to take you to the viewing area, but there are stairs to climb to the different levels. There are shops, food vendors, and restrooms in the immediate vicinity. There is also paid parking in several different areas.

Super nice, but was snowing today. Made a snowball! Watched water flowing strongly over the cliff edge. Got strawberry ice cream. Lake is nice view. Big and peaceful. Very winding roads up and down - drive carefully!

Beautiful waterfall. Short walk from parking to the lookout. We went during December so we caught a glimpse of snow and waterfall. If your on the nikko bus tour, it is definitely worth the stop.

Truth be told, I was crestfallen as we approached Kegon Falls. A rainy fog covered the top of the observation deck and I asked my mum if she'd still like to pay for a descent to the paid area. She agreed and it was actually a blessing in disguise. After paying ¥570 each, we went down after a busload of students past some slope and stairs. It was just foggy all around and I took some photos in hope to see some form of shape of Japan's top three waterfalls. After the energetic kids left the area, we entered the souvenir shop to grab a fridge magnet (our family tradition for travel keepsake) to capture Kegon Falls in its majesty. Perhaps it was the kami's answer to our prayers because when we stepped outside, the fog lifted and the grand waterfall revealed herself to us! I set up our tripod before another group of kids arrived, shouting and screaming at the reveal of the waterfall. Lucky them and us! This is going to be my favourite memory of this trip!

お昼12時ぐらい、日光方面から駐車場渋滞が大変でした。二車線右側華厳の滝第一駐車場に入るのに渋滞しているので、空いている左車線からその先の第二駐車場へチャレンジしてもいいと思います(他にも民営の駐車場がいくつかあります)。 華厳の滝自体は素晴らしく気持ちのよいミストを堪能しました。地上からも滝は見えますがぜひ有料エレベーターで下に降りて直に体感して下さい。 ちなみにエレベーター乗り場付近の飲食ではほうとうが一番美味しかったです。湯葉コロッケはイマイチ。

A breathtaking spot, I would have stayed there the whole day, even it was foggy and it was difficult to see the full view of the waterfall. You can see a complex of waterfalls and a nice running river in sunny day, also the best time to visit is during autumn, the colour mix of trees and waterfall is unmatched. You can enjoy the water fall for free from view point having 2 floors, or you can enjoy more realistic and more closer look if you go to the lower view point through elevator for about extra 500 yen if I still remember, this is also a great solution if you were unlucky and there was fog, you can check the live screen and go to the bottom view point to have a better view. Anyway, plan your trip well, and make sure that it is sunny at the waterfall area. Access: use bus from Nikko station, there is a good cheap full 2 day bus pass from Nikko station, don't miss it, you may some money.

Must visit place during autumn in Nikko. It’s absolutely mesmerizing. One day trip to Nikko from Tokyo is best to spend a weekend or any consecutive holidays. Very easily accessible from Tokyo Asakusa station via Tobu Nikko line, there are passes available which could be chosen accordingly.

Amazing! A few different angles so make sure you find the walkable observation deck from the top, as well as the elevator observation deck. The elevator does not allow dogs. Parking is available but during busy seasons, it’s better to find a spot further from the site. We waited over an hour to turn into the parking lot during the 2022 fall season. There are 2 lots for the falls themselves, but also many others so do a Google map search for them.

I went in October so the water level was not too high and I had a chance to catch one bottle of water 😜hahaha. Anyway, it’s an amazing waterfall and you can enjoy the sound of waterfall’s waves. They have a nice elevator 🛗 so you don’t need to tracking. But if you love tracking then you can also find some way to go there, I am not sure. Anyway, I’m gonna to rate it 9/10.

Incredible views especially in winter!! I was wondering if the steep price of the elevator was worth it (570 yen), but it absolutely was!! 3 viewing platforms to choose from with dramatic views of the falls from the bottom.

Deserving of its spot in Japan's top 3 waterfalls. Absolutely amazing. It's worth taking the elevator - which was built in 1930s - to the basin. You don't want to miss this if you are visiting Nikko!

Kegon Waterfall, or 華厳滝 (Kegon Taki) in Japanese, is a breathtaking natural wonder nestled in the scenic Nikko National Park. Plunging 97 meters surrounded by lush greenery, it offers a mesmerizing spectacle for nature enthusiasts. The sheer height of the waterfall creates a captivating mist, adding a mystical aura to the surroundings. Visitors can appreciate the waterfall's grandeur from various viewpoints, with the most iconic being the Akechidaira Observatory. The observatory provides a panoramic view of Lake Chuzenji and the surrounding mountains, enhancing the overall experience. The accessibility of Kegon Waterfall adds to its allure, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. A convenient elevator descends into the gorge, allowing visitors to witness the cascading water from different angles without strenuous hikes. The seasonal transformations further enhance the appeal, with vibrant foliage in autumn and a frozen spectacle in winter. The symphony of crashing water and the serene natural setting make Kegon Waterfall a serene retreat, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, Kegon Waterfall stands as a testament to Japan's natural beauty, captivating the senses with its majestic presence.

The observation platform has 3 levels: worth checking all three levels given a small difference in the viewing angles provide a slightly different experience. Winter is not the best season to come as there’s much less water than it is in the summer. Still, it’s a really nice view that brings me a sense of calmness and peacefulness. Also really cool to see the shadows of the waterfall. Definitely recommend a visit!

A very beautiful waterfall. You go down an elevator to a viewing platform down the cliffs, to see the entirety of the falls. There are some food vendors outside as well as on the viewing platform during season (visited in winter and they were closed).

It's a waterfall. There is an elevator to a lower place where you can see a different view of the falls. It only seems to be there to get you to pay more money. It was nice, but paying 570 yen to take an elevator to see the same waterfall seemed a bit much to me.

Kegon Falls are beautiful falls at around 1,200m above sea level in the middle of a beautiful forest near Nikko. The autumn colours are beautiful from here. Make sure to also take the elevator down to the lower observation deck for an even more beautiful view of the falls.

修学旅行以来？の来訪です。華厳の滝と言えば嫌なイメージがありますが、見えないですがマイナスイオンが出まくっていると思います。エレベーター570円で近くの観瀑台まで降りれます。最後に心○写真と言われる物はすべてシミュラクラ現象である。

(Translated by Google) 320 yen for parking The elevator up to about 100m is 570 yen (adult). The temperature below was so low that it was cold even in summer. Water is dancing whether it's raining or waterfall splashes. It is a dynamic and overwhelming waterfall! (Original) 駐車場は320円 約100m下までのエレベーターは570円（大人）。 下は温度が低くて夏でも寒いくらいでした。雨なのか滝の飛沫なのか、水が舞ってます。 ダイナミックで圧倒される瀑布です！

First day we saw only mist (September) but we returned the next morning and were able to see it. It is huge and close to the shops and hotels but there is no hiking or anything to get into a natural mood.

(Translated by Google) 2016.10.29 Visit The appearance of a waterfall with a head of 97m flowing down at once is counted as one of the three famous waterfalls in Japan. (Original) 2016.10.29訪問 落差97mの滝を一気に流れ落ちる様子は、日本三名瀑のひとつにも数えられています。

(Translated by Google) A long slide is popular with children. Others include iron bars and sandboxes. Because the sand in the park is red sand It is difficult to go after the rain (laughs) (Original) ながーい滑り台が子どもに人気です。 その他は鉄棒や砂場があります。 公園の砂が赤砂でサラサラ系なので 雨上がりに行くと大変です(笑)

This was my second time to visit Nikko city, it is an amazing place to run away from life and work to relax. Yummy food, amazing sightseeings and historical places. Love the nature there. You should definitely visit Nikko soon ❤️

It has an elevator that takes down to have a nice view of the waterfall, only Japanese can think of such innovative ideas, hats off! Don’t miss if you are in Nikko

Famous waterfalls Recommend to visit I don't miss to visit every time when visit Nikko. You can enjoy there all season There is the elevator to go underground to see Waterfall from inside.

Amazing place ! I know it’s just a waterfall but you’ll thank God once you see it with your own eyes ! The parking cost 320¥ and for the elevator going down adult 大人 is 570¥ and for children 子供 is 340¥ (the price is based on what I remembered) don’t forget to bring a jacket because it’s cold down there. If you want to see it in different look you can visit here every season 😊 and also there are food stall around, souvenirs and toilet. Hope this helps you 😌

I'm really mesmerized by looking at this waterfall.. I visited this place during the Autumn season(weekday). Even though it was more crowded than expected and a freaking cold day, Nikko's beautiful landscape made me forget all odds and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening.. parking 🅿️ fee 320¥.. I could see many enjoying barbecue fish and baked sweet potatoes... I suggest everyone take the elevator which takes us 100mts down and enjoy the waterfall.. elevator view costs 570¥. this elevator has a history which is almost 90yrs old and quite big to fit almost 25people at a time..🇯🇵🇯🇵

This area is stunningly beautiful but sadly we had torrential rain all day which did limit the experience. Definitely somewhere to visit when the sunshine is shining. It is a popular place for visitors so can get busy. I believe it is the third highest waterfall in Japan. There is a lift that takes you to the bottom of the falls, but be aware that there is then a walk with steps in case of limited mobility.

Gorgeous falls, highly recommend the elevator in particular to have a view from the ground level. Do wish you could get closer to the falls, and you'll need to check the weather for fog (seriously, the first day we visited we could hear a tremendous waterfall, but literally couldn't see a glimpse). The nearby lake is beautiful and clear, but the clouds rolling over the mountains are a double edged sword. It makes it frequently mystical feeling, but also makes some days less than ideal. Again, check the weather.

This is a stunning location - especially as the trees are starting to turn. There are food stalls and gift shops here and it's quite nice walking around. You need to buy a ticket if you want to take the lift to the bottom of the falls. The only downside would be crowds. It wasn't too bad, but I can imagine long queues here when it is popular.

We went here first thing in the morning using the first few available buses at 6am on a Saturday to avoid crowds and the traffic. From Tobu Nikko station it takes about 45 minutes to the station close to the waterfall and Lake Chuzenji. If you go on a holiday or weekend, the bus ride can take up to 2-3 hours so be careful. From the waterfall back to Nikko station, at 9 am the traffic was already starting to get really bad that walking would be faster to go the station which we did. We hopped off and walked. The waterfall itself is very beautiful. You will ride an elevator that will go down 100 meters to see the waterfall better. Not much to do aside from picture taking but there are some local foods to try and souvenir shops to go to around the area. Highly recommended. It was cold near the waterfall so bring a jacket in case during autumn or spring.

It was awesome. There is a public view for free but I recommend you to take the elevator to be closer to the waterfall. Partially for the experience to go down. Kinda of unique. I took the elevator to the bottom to be nearer to the waterfall. It was really good view. You need to pay 570yen to go down.

I visited on the morning of January 29, Monday. From my experience it's better to visit this first since I heard the road to here can get quite congested during peak season (autumn). If you plan to also go to Akechidaira lookout / ropeway, go there first as it is a one way road. I come from a tropical country where waterfalls are fairly common, but Kegon falls in winter is such a beautiful sight. It's quiet with only a few tourists.

Unforgettable Experience! The view at Kegon Fall was absolutely mesmerizing! The convenience of the elevator taking us down the hill enhanced the overall experience. A fantastic facility with breathtaking views. Highly recommend for a memorable visit. 5 stars!"

I love this place. From the observation deck, I face straight to the fall and the view is astounding. The air is full of vapor and fog mixing together, which makes the scene even more impressive. I didn't have a chance to take the elevator to the lower observation spot but I will definitely give it a try next time.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen!

Waterfall big, very beautiful. Up in the mountain feels more cold, so bring warm cloth with you! Beside waterfall there are souvenir shops and street food, snacks.

Amazingly pretty. We visited around autumn and leaves were starting to change color and leaves were starting to change color and it was awesome. The fall itself is a lovely sight to see. Lot of small fun activities and food and souvenirs to pick from. Highly recommended.

Relatively easy access. Good views. However, not worth visiting for just the falls. Good for an inbetween stop over.

It's very beautiful waterfall, surrounded with trees. I visited there in winter. During snow fall it's beauty enhanced many times.

Awesome waterfall. The top platform gives you a great view and shows the length of the waterfall. Take the elevator down for 570yen and see the waterfall up close as well as the whole vallry, streams and other tiny details. Good photo oppurtunities and not too crowded. Lots of souvenir shops. At the entrance there are lots of cafes selling souos, curries, fried fish and local snacks. Parking is around 300yen

Amazing waterfall. 2 decks above and 3 decks below, all corners presenting different views. Worth a visit

荘厳の一言。有料ですが、岩盤をくり貫いて作られたエレベーターで、100メートルほど降りると、真夏でもヒンヤリとしたトンネルがあり、その先が絶景スポットです。 お土産屋さんもありますよ。

暑い夏でもとても涼しいが、コロナ対策がとても不十分でした。 正直エレベーターに乗るのはお勧めしません…

涼しかったですね

(Translated by Google) It was magnificent (Original) 壮大でした

(Translated by Google) As expected, the appearance of the waterfall from the observatory after descending from the underground elevator was impressive and powerful. The splash of water showed the awesomeness of the waterfall. (Original) さすが日本三名爆、地下エレベーター降りての展望台からの滝の姿は迫力あり気持ち良かったです。 水飛沫が滝の凄さを現していました。

(Translated by Google) You can get off at Kegon Falls at once by elevator.

まぁ、日光の定番ですね?

(Translated by Google) I thought it would be the last summer vacation for working people, but it was a coronal disaster, but I went there. To be clear, I was anxious because the measures were insufficient. After all, the elevator had no special restrictions on the number of people, and normally a 2-digit number was used. I don't know if it's a guard or a staff member, but I wondered if it makes sense. When I get on, I hear the voice of a young person in the back saying "Is it still possible to ride?" Is it all right? When I think... And I was even more worried because there were more than half of the Tokyo numbers. Surprisingly, we can take measures against tourist spots! There are many things that are suspicious, but I thought there were many suspicious points. (Original) 社会人の夏季休暇最後ならと思い、コロナ禍でしたが行ってきました。 はっきり言って対策が不十分で、不安になりました。 なんと言ってもエレベーターは人数制限も特になく2桁の人数が普通に乗ってました。 警備員かスタッフか知りませんが、存在する意味あるのかと思いました。 乗る際も、「まだ乗れるじゃん？」とか後ろの方で若い人の声が聞こえて こいつ等大丈夫か？と思う場面も… そして、都内ナンバーが半分以上いたので尚更不安になりました。 観光地は意外と対策できてます！ みたいな事は書いてありますが怪しいところは多いと思いました。

it is just right beside the hotel we stayed Riz. 10mins walk. didn't even have to walk for a long time. today when wet the weather wasn't good, we could not see the rainbow. little convenience store inside was pretty cute. one of the relaxing visit. buy tickets elevator down walk a little bit and its right there.

(Translated by Google) It's a pity that I couldn't see it up close because the elevator was running too late. But even from a distance, the sound was overwhelming and overwhelming. (Original) エレベーターの運行時間が過ぎていたため、間近で見ることはできなかったのが残念。 だが遠目からでもその音はものすごく、圧倒された。

(Translated by Google) Even though it's midsummer, the passage after getting off the elevator is about cold, so it's the best summer resort. (Original) 真夏なのに、エレベーター下りた後の通路は寒いくらいなので、避暑地として最高です。

(Translated by Google) You can see the whole picture without getting off the elevator at the huge waterfall in the rabbit. The waterfall looked like a huge dragon. (Original) 兎に角巨大な滝でエレベーターで降りなければ、全貌が観ることが出来ます。厳かで滝が巨大な竜のように見えました。

(Translated by Google) It's cool and comfortable~ When you get off the elevator, it looks like a refrigerator Large municipal parking lot is full and there is congestion However, it is faster to park at a private place in the neighborhood because it is charged The price is 300 yen and it's the same (Original) 涼しくて気持ちいい〜 エレベーター降りるとまるで冷蔵庫のようです 大きい市営駐車場は満車で入庫渋滞しています ただ有料なので近隣の個人の所に駐車した方が早いです 値段も300円で一緒です

(Translated by Google) I think it is a very famous tourist attraction in Nikko. Use the elevator to get down to the observatory. As we proceeded through the tunnel, there was an observatory. Although the observatory was small, it was full of shops and other shops. I think it is a very pleasant place to visit when it's sunny and hot. It was cloudy when I visited, but it was a mysterious sight because the waterfall was foggy. (Original) 日光のかなり有名な観光名所だと思います。展望台まではエレベーターを使って下りていきます。トンネルを進んでいくと展望台がありました。 展望台は狭いものの、売店などがあって充実していました。晴れて暑い時に訪れればとても気持ち良い場所だと思います。訪れた時は曇りでしたが、滝に霧がかかっていてそれは神秘的な光景でした。

Very impressive falls. Can be seen from an observation deck that offers a great view.

(Translated by Google) Overwhelming amount of water ❗️ Eliminate words (Original) 圧倒される水量❗️言葉を無くします

(Translated by Google) I came for the first time in 40 years, but I couldn't get on the elevator to see the waterfall because the corona wasn't calm yet, so I saw the waterfall just from the top (Original) ４０年振りに来たけど、コロナがまだ落ち着いて無いから滝を見る為のエレベーターに乗れず上からだけで滝を見ました?残念です???⤵️⤵️

Was good. We went in winter so chilly but lovely to see. Wouldn't necessarily go back though as not much to see after

Nothing else to enjoy at this time of travel, Early January. Only 1 gift shop was open, JR waiting room served few vending machine and shelter. The temperature was -8 and wind speed 25kmph

It was a very beautiful place.Because of corona, there were few people! It's probably since the school trip. I remember ten years ago.

Falls on winter is something else! Very pretty view, worth going up the mountains.

Fall is beautiful if lightning is good. You have to pay 500 yen to take the lift to go down to fall. During peak season, we had to spend almost 2 hours in the que to take a bus back to Nikko station.

favorite spot in Tochigi. Ryuokyo waterfalls. So nice and beautiful. The sound of water and the views make me so relaxed and refreshed.

A spectacular view, the loft to the bottom of the falls is absolutely worth it. The lines may be long but move fairly quick.

it's really great to see the beauty of nature with this breathtaking falls... this is one of the must see Falls at Nikko Japan... the other and I think best one is the Yudaki Falls....

So beautiful! nature here is breath taking !

(Translated by Google) A nice healing place (Original) 素敵な癒し処

Really beautiful. Very easy to reach the place as well. Even a person with walking difficulty can visit.

A majestic view especially in autumn. Just 5 minutes away on foot from its own parking lot (not for free). Viewing platforms are for free. Taking the elevator down to the waterfall’s bottom area isn’t for free but affordable. Lots of shops and restaurants around the area. You should visit on a weekday. Weekends & holidays can be too crowded. I wrote about it on my blog (thepinayajumma.com). Please check it out.

Excellent place. But crowded as expected. Difficult to follow physical distancing. It was huge traffic jam while going and returning. ~30 minutes of drives completed in ~2 hrs. Its better if you can visit weekdays rather than weekend/holidays. Parking lots were also crowded.

Amazing waterfalls.. one of the tallest in Japan (not the tallest). Autumn foliage there is just breathtaking. You can view the waterfalls for free from a viewing platform or go down to view them up more closely for a fee of 600 yen if I'm not mistaken

It is a beautiful place. Nikko in japan.

(Translated by Google) It's nice and the view is superb! (Original) すいているし、絶景!

(Translated by Google) It was a powerful waterfall. You can take the elevator to a nearby location and see the more powerful waterfall up close. I felt like I was sucked in and I was scared. (Original) 迫力のある滝でした。 エレベーターで近くまで行くことができて、更に迫力のある滝を間近で見られます。 吸い込まれそうで、怖くも感じました。

(Translated by Google) It was nice to have some snow left. (Original) 雪が少々残っているのがいい感じでした。

(Translated by Google) It's a waste just from above. The elevator is about one coin, so you should get on it. (Original) 上からだけではもったいない。 エレベーターもワンコイン程度なので乗った方がいい。

(Translated by Google) The first winter Kegon Falls. Powerful! Next time I would like to see the spring waterfall. (Original) 初の冬の華厳の滝。迫力満点！次は春の滝を見てみたいです。

Nice water falls

(Translated by Google) I felt like it's been a long time, but when I think about it, it may be the first time for Kegon Falls to have snow! It was beautiful (Original) すごく久しぶりな気がしてたけど、思えば雪が残る華厳滝は初めてかも! きれいでした

(Translated by Google) The winter scenery was good. (Original) 冬景色が良かったです。

The almost 100 meter tall is the most famous waterfall. In fact, it is even ranked as one of Japan's three most beautiful. Wonderful place.

Very beautiful waterfall. But way to many people! Even on a weekday.

It is a very beautiful waterfall. Unfortunately a bit crowded because of it famous waterfall. Go down with a lift to see the waterfall close with the ticket of 570¥ return totally worth.

The top observatory was pretty good already. Buying a ticket at the elevator was really easy even if you're not a Japanese speaker and the wait wasn't long for the lift either. They had a lot of food stalls and shops at the site and I recommend you guys to go there in the morning with an empty stomach. Since we drove there, the longest wait was only for the parking, it does have 2 lots to park at but there's always a wait especially in the morning, but was still a good experience overall.

The best place I ever visited. The view of iced waterfall is too good. We use elevator to go 100 meters best view of Kegon Falls.

Perhaps ruined the other waterfalls I will see locally! Beautiful waterfall, but note that it is not free. It costs approximately ¥570, if I remember correctly, for the elevator down to see the waterfall. You can, of course, see it without paying that fee but it's a different view. Both are worth it.

The waterfall was a sight to behold! Very exciting. The trees near the waterfall basin are also very beautiful. I visited here around 4pm and could not get any pictures of the falls due to backlighting. Morning might be better to get good waterfall pictures at this location.

Lovely. It was amazing to see with lot of clouds. The route was so green and beautiful. Once you reached top buy ticket for 500 yen and they ll take you 100 meters down by lift to the view point. Very big falls and water force and noise was heavy. Better go in autumn to see colorful surroundings

This large waterfall is impressive, especially in a prefecture known for beautiful falls. There are two observation areas: the upper deck, which is free, and the lower deck which requires an elevator ride to access. The elevator has a fee to ride. We felt the beautiful views were worth visiting the lower deck, which actually has multiple levels. The gift shops only take cash, so be sure to have some on hand.

Perfect place to visit with family.. I've visited this place 3 times this month haha. Nearby hotels are open now. Enjoy mother nature at its finest. ❤️

We went here during winter and autumn. The view is so relaxing plus the breathtaking driving going up & down, It’s like you’re riding the roller coaster😅😅Looking forward visiting again during spring

Such a beautiful waterfall and also soothing. The entrance fee is relatively cheap and the parking fee is very cheap. The best time to visit the place would be fall / autumn. Lots of souvenir shops and local restaurants are nearby. Just remember that the restaurants closing time is really early so if you want to have some nice dinner make sure to check the timing.

The fall feels surreal. Looks even better with sunset! Might face a little jam in the evening when going back down to Nikko City Centre. Parking lot here is large. Parking fee js 320 yen.

Pretty good place to get away from city over the weekend. The fall is amazing in every season. Becomes specially attractive in fall season with son many colors changing around. Because it's so easily accessible from Tokyo or other nearby cities, it's always busy too. Specially in fall it's crowded. Recommend with caution.

Cloudy overcast day, it was very foggy and we weren’t able to see much. I bet it would have been great. There are souvenirs and ice cream and cafes to grab a bite to eat. Not to far of a walk 10 mins walk to the Nikko beach and promenade walk and an observatory for a 180 view of the lake. The switch backs and views are amazing going up or down. Buy the Nikko bus pass from Tokyo and it’ll include train ride there and unlimited bus pass for 2 or 4 days in Nikko depending on which pass you buy. (Great deal if you have JR Pass but even better deal if you don’t). I purchased mine at Nikko Stn for 2300yen for 2 days use. (Goes as far as #26 attraction, anything beyond added fee) The other is double in price but it lasts 4 days and takes you further up on the route of attractions. The pass is worth it. Check it out at the Asakusa Visitor Centre.

It a lovely place. During my visit here, it was rainy day in the morning. I arrive around 8:00am and few shop still close. The environment is calm and i really love it. It is on summer but the climate was around 14celsius. Luckily i bringing my jacket to keep warm. As i mention, early bird the cafe still in closed. But there is few café on the entrance Kegon Fall was open to guest.

It's not a bad place. You won't see anything in the fog, of course. But paying and taking the lift down is a moot point. I don't think it's worth it. You can look at the waterfall from above. It is beautiful in general.

Incredible! The roads leading up and back are iconic and the waterfall itself has to be seen to be believed. Walked through the town and found a wonderful Cafe looking over the water.

Kegon is one of the big three waterfalls in Japan, located in Nikko which has lot other tourist spots as well. The location is convenient with few minutes access from nearby parking lot. Kegon falls offer different viewing angles, so make sure you visit both the stairs and also the elevator decending to 100 m down for perfect pictures. The elevator is connected with shoet tunnel to the observation deck, you can feel the cold breeze as soon as elevator door opens. On topside area , there are souvenir and snacks shops. Make sure to try lemon soft cream.

You can see it for free from the top or pay some yen take the elevator to stand face to face with it and see some smaller ones around. It's really majestic and fascinating, definitely worth seeing if you came to the Nikko area. Shame you can't get closer to the base of it.

About a 10 minute walk from Chuzenji Onsen Bus Terminal. It was a pity that the weather was rainy and foggy on the day of our visit. We were not able to see the waterfall in its full majesty. The staff here help to manage the lifts when there are huge crowds. Do go down to the lower parts of the observation deck Admission: 570 yen (adults)

One of the best waterfalls in Japan! The view was really amazing I was glad I went. Be sure to take the elevator down to the lower area and check out the gift shop. It can get a little cool there depending on when you visit. Would be a great place to visit in the summer to cool off. Even if you don’t take the elevator down you’ll still have a good experience though.

Von Tokio aus mit dem Auto ein schon längerer Weg, ca 2 1/2 Stunden plus zusätzliche Mautgebühren gesamt von ca. 50 €.. Parkgebühr vor Ort, aber der Wasserfall ist wirklich sehr schön. Und man kann ihn gut sehen. Man kann auch mit einem Fahrstuhl weiter runter fahren und näher an den Wasserfall ran allerdings mit einer Gebühr und zu vielen Menschen ist daher nicht unbedingt lohnenswert mit dem Fahrstuhl, da man den Wasserfall auch so sehr gut bewundern kann.

Wunderschöner Wasserfall! Obere Platform ist kostenlos, die Fahrt mit dem Aufzug nach unten ist kostenpflichtig. Lohnt sich aber, denn der Ausblick ist traumhaft. Außerdem gibt es einen Automaten an dem man Münzen kaufen und auch selber stanzen kann… Toller Souvenir! 👌🏼

Very beautiful. Others are more spectacular (Yellowstone and Niagara, for simple examples). There were crowds, so patience is required. We enjoyed a lovely day visiting both Kegon and other sites (sulfur hot springs) nearby. Don't roll your windows down when you do the road song driving down the mountain after leaving Kegon Falls.

One of the big waterfall in Japan. An scenic view from the top of the mountain as well as from the bottom. It is worth to see in all seasons. Particularly in winter and autumn. It is covered with autumn colours in autumn. And frozen in winter. Such a beauty..
