Sogi-no-Taki Park

A park which encompasses the area around Sogi Falls, a magnificent waterfall known as the “Niagara of the East,” located in Okuchimiyahito, Isa City. 210 meters wide and 12 meters tall, the falls’ rock-shearing waters generate an astounding roar. The surrounding area is also adorned with seasonal, natural beauty, and the park holds seasonal events at appropriate times such as in the fall and during cherry blossom season. Restaurants and souvenir and gift shops stand side by side in the park as well; the crucian carp and Berkshire pork dishes are exquisite. Shimizu Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to a god of finding luck in marriage and safe childbirth, is also located on the grounds, and here visitors can learn about the history of this waterway dating back to the Edo period.
