Last update :

Ginzan Onsen is a hot spring town where inns imbued with the charm of the Taisho era stand alongside the Ginzan River. A little further from the walking paths around the hot spring town, you'll find the naturally rich "Shirogane Park." At its entrance is the 22-meter drop, twin cascades known as "Shirogane-no-taki Waterfall."

Visitors can walk close to the base of Shirogane-no-taki Waterfall, allowing for an up-close view of the water plunging into the pool below. The sight of the waterfall sending up sprays of water is refreshing, making it a recommended cooling spot in summer. An observation deck is also situated on the opposite bank, providing a distant view of the entire waterfall. Let the sound of water soothe you and spend a peaceful and rejuvenating time. Additionally, spanning the mouth of the waterfall is the beautifully vermillion "Sekotoi Bridge," which, in the season of fresh green or autumn colors, offers a landscape reminiscent of a painting.

Just about a 5-minute walk from the central hot spring town. It's recommended for a stroll after enjoying the hot spring, especially during the pleasant seasons.
