In winter new year period there was no any open shop nearby, and for very early sunset (around 4.30pm), noone would be there after around 2.30pm go-back public bus, so when you have to catch the around 1.30pm bus in front of Akiu Tourist center to go to the fall, you would have only 20 - 30min to run to the fall behind the shrine and run back to the bus stop. (That was the weekday bus schedule, the weekend schedule may have more bus, I am not sure)

So what I impress was just the fall amidst of the ice and snow, and the shrine with rather scary giant god statue inside. I noticed that many one could find the way to walk down to see the base of the fall that was ice, but I had no...

It's a large waterfall, viewable from multiple angles as you walk the nearby trail. You can see it from very high up, you can see it from far away on a bridge, and you can see it from down at the riverbed if you're willing to brave the slightly precarious footing. The walk around itself is maybe like 20-30 minutes, but I was there for probably closer to double that enjoying the scenery. They also have a rest house with a gift shop and restaurant, but it closes quite early. There's a temple too, and when I went there were a few food stalls set up along the path serving typical festival treats like shaved ice and yakisoba.

There are two parking areas, and as far as I know...

GW中の平日に、仙台駅から、 バスで行きました。

朝8時半のタケヤ交通の西武ライナーで、秋保の里センターまで行き、乗り変え。

平日で、直通のバスがない上、 8時半のバスを逃すと、12時台まで無し😰

仙台は、

これくらいの街がちょうど良いワ

と、思わせる魅力的な街なのですが…

ちょっと郊外に足を伸ばそう!

という時に、公共交通機関が、 かなり不自由(涙)

車社会なので、仕方ないのかなぁ…🥹

愛子駅まで仙山線で行って、 バスに乗り換えてもいいけど、

愛子駅まで行く電車も、 そこからのバスも、 本数が限られてしまう🥴

土日なら、仙台駅から1本で行けるバスが出ていますが…

今回は、8時半のバスに揺られ、

小学生や幼稚園の遠足気分で、 愛子駅を過ぎ、 錦ケ丘の住宅街を走り抜け (車がないと住めないけど、キレイな住宅地)、 秋保の温泉街へ。

秋保の里センターに着くと、しばらく待ち時間があり、大滝方面まで行くバスに、乗り換えます。

トイレ休憩の後、

名取川の流れを眺め、新緑に溢れた、 この沿いの遊歩道を歩きたいなぁ…と 残念に思いながら、

やっときた次のバスに、乗車。

そんなに乗客が多くないので、 バス便少いのも、納得。

(インバウンドさんたちが増えたら、 増便してくれるかな?)

秋保大滝のバス停に着くと、 まずは、秋保大滝の神社にお参り、です。

車で来られたのか、外国人と思われる方々もチラホラ。 秋保温泉に、宿泊しているのかな。

神社から、大滝を見下ろす展望台までは、すぐ、です。

おおっ、滝と山の眺め🤩イイ♪

思ったよりも水量も多く、さすが〜 来て、良かった、 自分としては早起きしたけど、 その甲斐あった…!

とこの辺りで、もう、そう思いました。

お二人で撮ってあげましょうか?

と、先ほど神社で見かけた外国の方 (中国?)の3人連れに、声をかけてもらい、娘との写真を撮影して頂きました。

お返しに、3人を撮影。

その後は、 GWの新緑の山と、 その中で、勢いよく落ちて、 白いしぶきをあげている滝に、 見入りました。

滝壺に近い岩場を、 観光客たちが歩いているのも、 ここから、良く見え…。

GWらしい、風景です。

では、私達も、いざ参らん😚

と、滝へと向かうのですが、 想像していたのと違い、 山の中の道を降りていく、のではなく。

名取川?にかかる大きな橋を渡ったり、 舗装された国道を歩いて、

ハイキング的な感じは、薄め(笑)

それも良いかな〜

だって、ここ、何となく、 クマが出そうな雰囲気、ありますもん🤔 (クマよけの鈴、持っている方もいました。)

車がよく通る国道のそばでないと、 不安かも?

この辺りの植生は、 地元鎌倉の山の植生とは 全然違うので、

去年行った高尾山や、 おととし訪れた大阪や和歌山の山とも 違うので、

ココならクマが出そう、と感じたのかも。

歩くこと10分程で、最後は、 山の中の道を降りて、 滝壺のある、岩場へ。

やっぱり、来て良かった😍

壮麗な、那智の滝や華厳の滝とは違い、 高さは、あまりないです。

が、水量十分、 水の勢いが、迫力満点!

勢いが、凄い😳

キモチが良いほど、大きな音を立て、 後から後から、水が流れ落ちてきます。

個人的には、那智の滝が、 神様というか、霊的な感じも強くあり、 立ち去り難い、魅入られる滝🥰

ここは、また、全然、個性の違う…

でも、砕け散るしぶき、激しい勢いに、邪念、邪気も退散するのでは?

と期待してしまう位、迫力ありますネ。

水量多いのは、この日がたまたま、 なのかなぁ…🤔 デフォルトなんだろうか?

水が激しく割れ、 あたりに飛び散るサマを眺めていると、

日頃のうっぷんを晴らすような、 効果、あります。

見ていて、キモチの良い、滝です。

ホントにわざわざ来て、 お会いできて、良かったな🥰

という印象。

ただし、岩場は滑りやすいので、靴は滑らない、ぬれていいものを、推奨。

元気な若者たちは、滝壺そばの岩の上まで行っていましたが、 リスクありそうで、断念。

でも、滝の迫力は楽しめ、十分に満喫。

まだ、10時台。 さて、これから、どこ行く?と娘と相談。

残念なことに、楽しみにしていた 大滝の茶屋は、閉業中で😭

近くにある、ガラス工芸兼ねたカフェまで歩いて行くことに。

カラフルなガラスの器がうつくしく、 雰囲気が良く、 美味しくて、良かったです。

滝の迫力はもちろん、 こちらのお店の雰囲気も良くて、

個人的には、今回のミニ旅は、大満足。

ただ、平日の移動が、 車ないと、なかなか不便〜という点、 豆腐のおいしいお茶屋さんの閉業などは、がっかりしたので、

1つ、星減らしました。

でも、滝そのもの...

I visited here on Nov 4th. The autumn leaves were awesome. There is a parking lot next to the main road and another one near to the path you walk to the water fall. The second one is small and you may not find a space. Both are for free. You can park your car to the main one and walk about 10 mins instead. There is an observation deck, restaurant, small shop, local goods etc. There is also a botanical garden, closes at 16:00 during winter season. There is a temple as well. The water fall is great and very tall. The color of the leaves complete the composition. A beautiful scenery, must see place if you are visiting Sendai.

Big waterfall with plenty of water flow. One of the top three waterfalls in Japan. There are two viewpoints of the waterfall. First one is through the temple and short walk to the waterfall 'overlook'. The closest parking lot is big and several food stalls and public toilet are there. The other one is the waterfall ground level and you need to go down steep stairs and rocky path to reach there and you need a pair of good walking shoes. The closest parking lot for this is across the river/bridge. Only several spots. No shops nor toilets

There are two places to view the falls; from above at the shrine and at the base. Two separate car parks and GMaps defaults to the shrine car park. After taking snaps from the viewing area, the base is a 10 minute walk (?) Or 700 meters away downhill. Just be mindful after walking down, you have to walk back up unless you drive down - there is a much smaller parking area near the base but there is still a bit of walking.
