Akame 48 Waterfalls

Selected as one of the "100 Famous Water Sources of the Heisei Era," Akame 48 Waterfalls has a 3.3km walking trail where you can enjoy 23 waterfalls. Walking along the well-maintained promenade, you can enjoy the beauty of nature while taking in negative ions. Especially noteworthy is the beautiful flow of waterfalls that split into two in the middle, named "Niwatari" because it looks like someone carrying a load. It's a must-visit spot. Take a walk in this healing space, which has been selected as one of the "100 Forests for Forest Bathing" and "100 Promenades," and refresh yourself from your daily fatigue.

Akame 48 Waterfalls is a scenic spot where beautiful views spread during the autumn foliage season. During this time, the forest, which is usually vibrant with fresh greenery, is adorned with vivid colors. When going on a foliage viewing excursion, it's recommended to wear appropriate clothing and shoes as there are areas with steep slopes that can be difficult to walk on. The contrast between the waterfalls, which splash water droplets, and the brilliant autumn foliage is a view that can only be seen here.

At Akame 48 Waterfalls, a mystical ravine illumination can be enjoyed during autumn and winter. During the previous "Yugen no Takeakari" event, over 2,000 bamboo lanterns of various sizes gently illuminated the entire ravine. During the illumination event, the ground is kept dimly lit to prioritize the scenery, so be sure to proceed with caution. Check the website for the latest information.

In the spring, an event called "Spring Akame 48 Waterfalls Pilgrimage" is held. This seasonal tradition involves practicing asceticism such as water walking and fire crossing at the base of the waterfalls, and due to expected crowds, early visits are recommended. In addition, Enjuin Temple in Akame 48 Waterfalls is known as a famous cherry blossom spot where drooping cherry blossoms bloom beautifully. Enjoy the charming scenery along with the stone lanterns designated as important cultural assets by the government.

Akame 48 Waterfalls is also known as the Ninja Village. At the "Ninja Training Village" facility along the walking path, the popular ninja training experience can be enjoyed by both adults and children. In addition to traditional ninja training, there are also unique training sessions such as shuriken training using the latest VR technology.
