九州旅行で、立ち寄りました。道の駅慈恩の滝くずに車を停めて、横断歩道を渡り、階段を降りると、滝が見えて来ます。二段滝で、勢いも良く、結構迫力があり、更に周りの木々の紅葉と相まって、滝が鮮やかでした。国道２１０号線沿いには、幾つか滝があるので、滝巡りも良いと思います。

高さ30メートルの落差を誇る名瀑。長い歴史も持つそうです。二段重ねの滝の水の流れは龍が泳いでいるようにも見え、圧巻の景色。国道や鉄道からも見ることができ、写真撮影スポットでもある慈恩の滝では徐行運転も行ってくれます！近くの鉄橋がゆふいんのもりのポスターの写真撮影地でもあり、ここでもかっこいい写真がとれますよ！大蛇伝説があるそうで、2025年、へび年の今年はご利益が期待できます。道の駅から徒歩3分で、アクセスもしやすい名瀑、ぜひ訪れてほしいです！

国道からでも見える迫力のある滝です。道の駅に車を停めて、近くまで行くとさらに迫力を感じられます。以前は滝の裏まで行けたのですが、今は立ち入り禁止になってました。
