G:Ousen no taki Falls course

∆Ousen no taki Falls
Seeking coolness in the flow of fine waterfalls

Although Ousen no taki Falls course is a short course of only 1km, you can enjoy hour-long walk on the trail with consecutive up-down slopes. With a drop of 35 meters, the gracious flows of the waterfalls create feminine atmosphere. The waterfall basin is accessible from the trail course. An over 300 year-old Japanese Judas tree, included in the List of the 100 giant trees in Japan, is located nearby.
