Ogawa Falls

雄川の滝

4.3Est. 90Minamiosumi, Kyushu
JTA Approved

Overview

Emerald green basin surrounded by hexagonal rock walls.

The grand falls are 60 meters wide and 46 meters tall, a natural wonder at the end of a walking trail that follows a series of clear streams and rock pools. In summer, the vegetation is lush and green, changing to hues of red, orange, and yellow in fall. The trail culminates in the waterfalls, where visitors can gaze at the water cascading over geometric rocks into the plunge pool beneath. If the conditions are just right the pool turns a vivid emerald green, which is most pronounced in periods with limited rainfall.
