Okutama Umisawa Keikoku Gorge - Tokyo

[Point of View]
- Mitsugama no Taki Waterfall
- Nejire no Taki Waterfall
- Oh Taki Waterfall

[Getting there]
By public transportation:
Approximately 90 minutes by JR Chuo Line from Tokyo Station to Ohme Station and 35 minutes by JR Ohme Line to Okutama Station. Get a taxi to Umezawa Gorge Entrance(10minutes)

[Personal Recommendation]
Access:★★★★☆
Refreshment:★★★★★

The entrance is located at the end of the street in front of American Camping Village. You can see three waterfalls on compassable way taht takes 90 minutes by walk. As It has some steep slant, It's not for the experienced climber though.
Each waterfall has each view and different atmosphere. The Nejire no Taki Waterfall is srounded by rocky hillside and make an echoing sound of water's falling.You can feel some sprit.

The entrance.

Trees are beautiful in deep autumn: greens, yellows, reds, oranges, every shade between.


The interlocked roots make stairs.
