Some of Japan’s most spectacular waterfalls can be found in the great outdoors of Aichi Prefecture. Enjoy the mystic healing and relaxing properties of the waterfalls as well as the many great historical, cultural, and natural attractions around them.
Ten meters high and 70 meters wide, the Tsuta no Fuchi Falls of Toei Town are known as the "Niagara Falls of Okumikawa", a region in eastern Aichi Prefecture. The great waterfall is associated with the legend of the Dragon King and his palace. Ring the Dragon King Bell, and your wish just may come true!
One of natures’ most beautiful gifts must be the Seven Atera Waterfalls in Shinshiro City. Enjoy a walk through unspoiled nature and be rewarded with the sight of these magnificent falls.
Narusawa Waterfall is sandwiched between remote Shinshiro City and Shitara Town along the Togaitsu River. The waterfall boasts the largest amount of water to fall in the Okumikawa region of eastern Aichi and stands a whopping 15 meters tall!
One of Aichi’s most famous waterfalls and one of Japan’s best autumn leaf viewing spots lies in Iwayado Park, located in the greater Aichi Highland Quasi-National Park. This park is set in the mountains of Seto City and popular year-round, particularly in the spring for cherry blossoms and gorgeous autumn leaves. Enjoy the beautiful streams and rivers, marvel at the 18-meter-tall waterfall, and a hidden shrine under a huge boulder grotto!
Hirahara Waterfall rewards visitors with an unusual appearance. The original falls are fed into tubes which shower down on those who choose to enter, benefiting from the waters believed to promote health and recovery from illness. Rest and relax at a free camp ground, hiking paths, the Mu no Sato rest area, and more nearby.
