Ohko-no-taki Waterfall
A magnificent waterfall chosen as one of the Top 100 Best Waterfalls in Japan. It is the tallest waterfall in Kyushu, at 88 meters from the clifftop, and the tremendous splash of cascading water is the true definition of dynamic. While you will be splashed with water, you can walk right underneath the basin. The Ogawa Spring gushes forth from between the rocks surrounded by trees nearby, and has long been said to be good for your health if you drink it.
