This waterfalls is near Nikko, in Japan. We took a bus from Nikko Station. Needless to say that the bus and train connections are extremely convenient in Japan.

There was a hiking trail to the top. But we couldn't do it because of rain.

We came by quite late, around 5pm, so there weren’t too many people and finding a parking spot was not an issue.

Free. No entrance and...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ryuzu Falls in Nikko, Japan, is a delightful spot! Its the best spot after Kegon Fall. The gentle sound of the waterfall accompanies you as you stroll along the hiking trail, creating a serene atmosphere. During winter, the mountains adorned with red leaves provide a breathtaking backdrop, adding to the charm of the scenery.

It's a perfect place where you can unwind and connect with nature. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Ryuzu Falls offers a rejuvenating experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and bask in the beauty of the...
