A Magnificent Waterfall Selected as One of Japan’s Top 100
Located in Ouchi Town, Mikaeri no taki Waterfall is renowned as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. With a drop of 100 meters, it offers breathtaking views in all seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn leaves. The thunderous roar of the water as it cascades down is a sight to behold, and the waterfall is illuminated at night, adding to its allure.
The sound of the water crashing into the plunge pool below is both powerful and refreshing for visitors. The area surrounding the waterfall is rich in nature, offering beautiful scenery throughout the year. Particularly, the new green leaves in spring and the autumn foliage provide exceptional views.
Mikaeri no taki is also famous for its hydrangeas. From early to late June, the "Hydrangea Festival" is held, showcasing around 40,000 hydrangea blooms. The contrast between the waterfall and the hydrangeas is stunningly beautiful. The waterfall is part of the Mikaeri no taki Park, which is equipped with walkways offering various vantage points. Enjoy a leisurely stroll to fully appreciate the natural beauty.
