Worth the effort to get there! It is an amazing place and a trekker's dream where you can enjoy different waterfalls while hiking up to the upmost point as far as we are allowed.

Now it is early November (would have been even better when the leaves fall in late November). We took the bus from the Akameguchi Station there and the sceneries are absolutely pleasant. There are coin lockers at the Akameguchi Station (also at Nara Station if you come from there).

You do not need special gear or hiking shoes at this time of year but some of the paths and stones may be slippery if it rained recently. So, better to wear a proper pairs of shoes.

You have to buy tickets at the visitor centre at the entrance of Salamander Aqaurium and you can get a leaflet there with important information. It also contains 4 stamps to collect along the way - two to be collected at the start and the end point. Since it says there is a prize to be collected, we showed them to the staff at the counter and they gifted us amazing photo postcards of the falls. so happy

At regular pace, the up and down could be about 1.5 hours each. We took about 2.5 hours climbing since we stopped and took many photos along the way.

I would say it is easy to moderate difficulty during the time...
