Hello, fellow travel lovers!
This time, I bring you a report on an unforgettable waterfall adventure at Ryuka Falls, where we visited full of determination despite the rain!
Doesn't the name "Ryuka Falls" alone get you excited?
It sounds like a dragon straight out of an anime might greet you, right? Well, Ryuka Falls actually has a legendary dragon story! It's said that a monk witnessed a dragon transforming into a Bodhisattva and ascending to the heavens. A must-visit for waterfall enthusiasts!
Right at the entrance, a dilemma awaits! Are you Team Mountain Path or Team Road?
The signboard in front of the entrance.
From the parking lot to the waterfall entrance, you have two options: the "Mountain Path" or the "Road." Nature lovers will enjoy the mountain trail, while the road is perfect for those who value speed or want an easier walk. With rain pouring down, the energy-saving team chose the road without hesitation.
Meanwhile, the challenger boldly took the mountain path! The result? A mere 2-minute difference in arrival time. But if the energy-saving team had attempted the mountain route, it might’ve taken a lot longer than that…
A signboard greets you right after entering.
That’s Nunotaki Falls across the highway… probably.
A power spot once visited by Akiko Yosano herself!
Near the waterfall, there’s a sign that says Akiko Yosano and Tekkan Yosano once enjoyed their time here.
Isn’t it such a luxury to immerse yourself in the same scenery once loved by literary legends?
It almost made me want to compose a haiku! (Yeah… not happening!)
Rainy day trails are pure adventure!
There are puddles scattered along the trail.
The uphill climb is pretty tough, but that just adds to the excitement!
Fukyo Falls. You can really feel the abundance of negative ions here.
I thought it was negative ions, but it turns out I was soaking in the full effects of phytoncides!
I didn’t know that, but there’s no doubt that this "feel-good vibe" spread through my entire body!
A guardian encountered along the way?
Suddenly, a black figure darted across my path—what a surprise!
The culprit was... a shiny little frog! It felt like a mystical guardian of the waterfall.
At last, Ryuka Falls!
A structure suddenly appeared in front of me. Could this be the waterfall viewing platform?
Finally, we arrived at Ryuka Falls.
...This is incredible!
The flow of water truly looks like a dragon soaring into the sky. The increased volume from the rain makes it even more powerful!
This dynamic energy is impossible to capture in a photo—you have to experience it with your whole being!
A rainy day waterfall adventure—huge success!
Soaked in the rain but immersed in the power of nature, Ryuka Falls was an unforgettable experience. It’s a spot that refreshes both mind and body! The serene atmosphere unique to rainy days made it all the more magical.
This power spot is recommended for those who can handle a good walk. Rejuvenate with the phytoncide effect!
