江川の水がかなり高所から落ちて迫力があります。遊歩道を降りてゆくと河原に出られますし滝の回りの河原がかなり広く浅いため目の前で滝を見ることが出来ます。また前面の龍門ふるさと館が展望台ともなっており高齢者や障碍者の方でも河原に降りなくても安全に滝の全景を見ることが出来ます。さらに、ふるさと館の中には神龍が住んでおりボールを7個集めなくても、なんでも願いを聞いてくれます。私は7億当たりますように！7億当たりますように！7億当たりますように！10億でもいいです！若い彼女ができますように！若い彼女ができますように！若い彼女ができますように！と各3回お願いしました。きっと来年の今頃はかわいい彼女とフェラーリに乗って高級ホテルでフランス料理にドンペリ開けているのは間違いありません！

マイナスイオンたっぷりの素晴らしい景色です。大きな滝を上からも下からも見ることができてわくわくが止まりません。公園になっていて散歩をしながら楽しめます。足元は滑りやすいので、気をつけて歩いてください。近くのレストハウスに滝の由来があったり滝を観ながら休めるカフェがあったりするので観光にとても良いです。

6月22日午前中バスツアーで始めて訪問しました。前日に梅雨入りしたので当日のお天気が心配でしたが、とても良い天気で観光日和でした。無料駐車場から川の流れを横に見ながら橋を渡って暫く行くと龍門の滝が有ります。砂利道を暫く坂道を降りながら向かいますが、ヒールとかは向かないので歩き安い靴がお薦めです。途中滝が見下ろせる場所が何ヵ所か有るので下に降りなくても見れますが、是非滝の直ぐ側の場所に降りてマイナスイオンをたっぷり浴びて下さい。坂道の途中には、紫陽花も咲いています。雨降りの後でも坂道はぬかるんでいないので歩き易いです。高さ20m、幅65mに渡って流れ落ちる滝は見ごたえ有ります。水吹雪で結構濡れます(笑) 子供さんが水の中に入って遊んでいます。初めて龍門の滝に行きましたが、直ぐ側で見る事が出来る壮大な滝の姿に感動でした。駐車場に古いトイレが有りますが、観光バスが到着すると長い列になってしまいます。滝の入口にふるさと民芸館観が有るので、施設も新しくて綺麗なのでこちらのトイレをお薦めします。
