Ogawa Falls

These waterfalls are 60m wide and 46m high, at the upper end of the Ogawa River, which flows through the south of the Osumi Peninsula. The promenade, which lets you walk amidst the sounds of the falling water to the mystical and beautiful pools below the waterfall, is a healing spot where you can become one with nature. There is a multilingual tourist information board at the entrance to the boardwalk.
