Nidannotaki
upper fall 10m (33feet) lower fall 10m(33feet)

Descending to the side of Nigorigo river, you will pass by a hidden fall (only found in rainy season) and through Gozentachibana growing field, which is one of the Alpine flora.
In this tour you will have to scramble a boulder, wade on the slippery riverbed, but the dramatic sensation you will get at the end will be really rewarding.

Kunotaki 15m (50feet)

On the way upstream along Nigorigo river (fording) after Nidannnotaki, there is another small fall in a dog-leg shape. Unfortunately fallen trees made the most part out of view.

Nigoridaki 27m (89feet )

This is a wide and upright fall, looks as if it were artificial. Even at a distance, you can feel the spray from the fall.
Come closer, and the spray will emit negative ion and heal you with its natural curability.
