Kirifuri Waterfall

栃木太郎 via Google Maps

Plunging down a mountain slope in two elegant tiers, the 75-meter-high Kirifuri Waterfall offers a tranquil retreat just northeast of Nikko's famed shrines. The dramatic cascade is framed by rich forested scenery that transforms with the seasons, from vibrant verdant canopies in spring and summer to fiery autumn foliage in brilliant shades of red and gold. A scenic viewing deck allows visitors to admire the roaring waters from across the gorge in serene mountain air. It is a must-visit detour for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers exploring the Tochigi countryside.
