- This waterfall is situated along the 30-kilometer-long Oseri Valley on the upper reaches of the Mimi River. The 70-meter-high, three-tier waterfall flows amidst evergreen broad-leaved forest primarily consisting of oak trees. Nature paths, a campground, and river pool are located nearby, and on weekends this popular leisure spot bustles with large numbers of families with children. Five observatories have been placed along the walking path near the walls to make it easier to see it, and visitors can enjoy the differing views. In order to pass on the area's magnificent natural beauty to future generations, it has been designated a Green Zone Protected Area by the prefecture.

- Horikawa Canal
- Travel / Tourism
- Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Nishimachi 7
- This canal connects the mouth of the Hiroto River to Aburatsu Port. The canal, built on the order of Obi Domain lord Ito Sukezane in 1686, took around two years to complete. Aburatsu has flourished since ancient times as a key port. The canal was built by Obi Domain to efficiently transport Obi cedar and serves as a symbol of Aburatsu. At the time it was built, canal excavation was no easy task, and it is said that digging out the bedrock below the vicinity of Ahiratsu Shrine was particularly difficult. The canal is about a 15-minute walk from Aburatsu Station. Today, the canal is used as a shooting location for movies, and as a shelter for fishing boats during typhoons.

Miyazaki Areas
An unmissable highlight of Kyushu, Miyazaki prefecture satisfies nature lovers with its dramatic gorges cut out of rugged cliffs, leading into waterfalls and beaches of green-blue water popular among surfers. Takachiho Gorge in the north of the prefecture tells a tale of centuries-old Japanese mythology in a fantastic setting, allowing visitors to explore the waters by boat before heading up to the cave at the Awano Iwato Shrine, where the sun goddess was said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.
