Description: |
|
The almost 100 meter tall Kegon Waterfall is the most famous of
Nikko's many beautiful waterfalls. In fact, it is even ranked as
one of Japan's three most beautiful falls, along with Nachi
Waterfall in Wakayama Prefecture and Fukuroda Waterfall in
Ibaraki Prefecture.
Kegon Waterfall is the only exit for the
waters of Lake Chuzenji. It can be seen from a free observation
platform that is easily accessible on foot, as well as from a
paid platform at the base of the falls. The paid platform is
accessed via a 100 meter deep elevator and offers more
impressive views. The sight of Kegon Waterfall in combination
with Lake Chuzenji can be enjoyed from Akechidaira Observatory,
which is accessible by ropeway from Akechidaira Plateau.
Kegon Waterfall is also a popular autumn color spot. The trees
around the waterfall are usually most colorful from mid to late
October. In the winter the waterfall is impressive as well when
it freezes almost completely solid. |
