  • Nabegataki Falls

    Kumamoto Pref. Asogunogunimachi Kurobuchi
    This is a waterfall which is said to have been made by an eruption which occurred about 90,000 years ago, which also created Aso’s caldera lake. This is a small waterfall with a height of about 10 meters and a width of about 20 meters, but the appearance of sunlight shining through the curtain-like broadly cascading water is extremely beautiful. “Urami no taki” which is enjoying the waterfall by going around to the other side of the fall is also popular. An event is also held in the springtime in which the far side of the waterfall is illuminated.

    Oita Taketa-shi
    "A waterfall located in Hinatame, Ogi-machi, Taketa City. Situated along the Ono River, the waterfall's name means ""white water,"" and there are two theories as to how it got this name. One is that it is because the waterfall appears white due to its numerous streams; the other is that because it is comprised of 99 streams, its name was written with the character for ""100"" minus a line at the top representing ""one,"" resulting in the character for ""white."""

    茶屋が休みの日（水曜日）だったのと15時ぐらいだったのでかなりすいてました。 滝までは段々進むほど急坂で少しきつかったです。 滝に到着したとき、静寂さと空気のおいしさに驚きました。（こんな気分ははじまて） 戻りしな母滝を撮してるときに山肌にある2つの蜂の巣に気づきました。 それ以降、なんか1，2匹の蜂が気になりました 吊り橋もよかったです。

  • Shiraito Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Pref. Asogunnishiharamura Kawahara
    Shiraito Falls, where water drops in a single stream from 20 meters high, is so named as the flow looks like a white thread, or “shiraito.” The beautiful, clear water has been selected as one of Kumamoto Prefecture’s top 100 waters of the Heisei era.  In the summer season illuminations are held until 10pm, and at the nearby Shiraito Falls Exchange Center one can enjoy somen nagashi (flowing somen).

  • Waterfall of Koga
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Pref. Asoshi Ichinomiyamachisakanashi Old-fashioned
    This is a waterfall consisting of a larger waterfall with a head of 80 meters and a smaller waterfall with a head of 100 meters. The water volume is low, and its frozen form in cold seasons is beautiful to behold, as are the Saturday night illuminations held in winter.

  • Sendan Todoro Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Yatsushiro-shi Izumimachi Kakizako
    Waterfall on the Nagao Mata River, a tributary of the Kobara River. It is said the falls got their name because at one time there were Japanese bead trees (sendan) beside them. The waterfall plunging from the 70-meter-high rock cliff edge is a powerful site to behold. You can view it from the observatory on the road, or see its roughly eight-meter in diameter basin up close once you cross the suspension bridge. It takes about 15 minutes on a walkway to the waterfall lookout. It's also nice that the area around the waterfall is maintained for hiking.

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
