Features & How to Enjoy

Classic Nature

Highlights

Point 1

Enjoy the 58m Drop of Todorimoto Waterfall

"Todorimoto Waterfall" is a waterfall that serves as the object of worship at Todorimoto Taki Shrine. While you can get close to the basin of the waterfall, it's been made so that you can't get too close, and it's said that the god resides in a place that's out of reach. When you stand in front of it, you'll feel as if you're facing the waterfall directly, making it a mysterious waterfall that allows you to feel the faith that people have in it.

Point 2

Take a Walk to the Headwaters of Nabewari Falls

"Nabewari Falls" is the last waterfall you can see when walking along the promenade. It hangs over the headwaters of the Gōjūkyū Falls, and you can see a magnificent 15-meter waterfall. It takes about an hour to walk one way to Nabewari Falls on the promenade, which may feel a little far, but you can enjoy the walk while seeing many different types of waterfalls on the way to Nabewari Falls, so it's quite enjoyable.

Point 3

Relax by Walking the Promenade

At Todoroki Kujukuri Falls, there is a 1.5 km promenade along the side of the falls. It takes about two hours to walk while strolling, but you can enjoy the magnificent nature and impressive falls! It's especially recommended for those who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, as you can absorb a lot of negative ions. The promenade can be slippery, so please wear comfortable shoes.

Point 4

Visit Todoroki Shrine

Todoroki Shrine is a magnificent shrine located near Todoroki Falls. It has been deeply revered by people who have a strong connection with water, as it enshrines the god of water. However, it is also revered as a god of various things, such as household safety, good health, traffic safety, academics, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and commerce, so anyone can visit. Why not visit Todoroki Falls and the shrine together while you're at it?

Point 5

Festivals are Held in Summer and Autumn

The "Todoroki Autumn Festival" is held in November and follows the same format as the summer festival, but with even colder water. The men participating in the festival are brave and watching them can make you feel divine!

車中泊の旅で訪れました😁狭い山道を10分ぐらい走り駐車場🅿️🚗に止めて少し下の赤い橋を渡りが順路➡️です😁 坂道を登ると右側に急な階段の轟神社⛩️正面に轟山龍暴陰です龍暴陰の右横をしばらく下るとその先に轟の滝が見えて来ます😁 今回は冬場でしたので、水量は少なかったけど青色の滝壺が見れ神秘的な場所てした🙏 昔は観光地で賑やかだったのでしょうが宿泊施設やお見上げ施設の廃屋も目立ちます😅トイレ🚻はログラウス造りで綺麗デス👍

細い道をひたすら走って、駐車場から１５分位で、本滝です。雨上がりだったので大迫力でした。一見の価値あり。時間と体力のある方は、沢山滝があるので散策できます。

轟神社から徒歩5分にある滝夏でも涼しく気持ちよく海陽町から１時間かかりますが来てよかった滝です。
