Wow! This place is so beautiful!! You can also walk behind the waterfall, which is fantastic. If you don’t take a lot of photos, like me, then 30 minutes should be enough time here. I spent almost an hour here though. I took my time and took lots of photos with my Nikon. There’s free parking available, but there is a fee to enter the waterfalls. When I went on 13Nov20, the fee was ¥300 per adult and ¥150 per child. As someone else mentioned, definitely wear good shoes. I had my hiking shoes on so I didn’t have a problem, but some parts can get slippery. Especially when walking down to go behind the waterfall. The path leading to the waterfall is good and well maintained.

The waterfall and surrounding forrest is beautiful. You'll get many chances to view it, even from behind! It's a bit of drive from central Kumamoto, but if you have the time and chance I'd recommend to drive there. The scenery and view from the car ride is also astonishing. There is a shuttle bus (optional, adults 300¥/kids 150¥) to get you from the nearby parking lot to the start of short walk (mostly stairs) before you get to the waterfall. Went there with my wife and her family during the last weekend of golden week so it was a bit crowded. But it wasn't really any problem to walk around.

The waterfall is beautiful and the hike to see it is very short. When I went there were quite a few seniors (80yrs or older) who were able complete the hike easily. The water fall is small and there isn't a whole lot of room at the base so it can get crowded. Especially on hot days when people are looking for an activity that's a little cooler. I didn't go at night but I was told that the water fall is lite up at night which gives it a different feel. If you have the chance maybe go see it both ways.

One of the best places to cool down the heat in this deadly hot summer in Japan!!! Mostly covered in shadow of trees making the place more relaxing... There’s like a nice and shallow pond under the falls that is very good to make yourself swim (with your kids also!). The scenery is surely beautiful. It is a couple hours driving from the central Kumamoto but is worth visiting!!!

The most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen in Japan. Viewing the waterfall from the cave behind it is an amazing experience! It was so beautiful and peaceful which cannot be truly experienced unless you feel it in person. The entry fee is 300 per person. Washroom and parking available.

Just 35min drive from Kurokawa onsen where we stayed..combine this with Meteo Falls if you are staying 2N at Kurokawa. Good to while away a morning after bfast. Waterfall is beautiful, if u go behind the waterfall, it can be dark so be careful with your footing as pebbles are all wet.
