[personal recommendation rate]
Access:★★★★☆
Hearing:★★★★☆

Get off the bus on the bus station named Kakure-Santaki. It is the entrance of three water falls. 15 min walk takes you to the sign of Otsujiga water fall. Following the sign, enter unpaved road and going forward about 10 min, you can find the water fall.

It is 15 meters height from the bottom to the top. Besides the water fall, ther is no sound.
You can still go ahead for 15 min walk to next water fall, Tamadare water fall. It is very scenic place with the wide-spreaded water fall.

Then back to the sign and walk through paved road about 15 min to Makkura water fall.
You will see a black valley and a waterfall.

There is no similarity among the three waterfalls.

We had a good time with just seeing the waterfall and listening to the sound of the water flow.

The water flow on mosses. It was beautifully green.

Tamadare waterfall.
If you visit there in a rainy season or summer, you will see bigger water flow.
