In Nikko, besides Kegon Falls, I also made time for Ryuzu Waterfall! The waterfall flows all the way down the mountainside, and the rushing water blends with the surrounding forest scenery. Just standing beside it, you can fully feel the natural atmosphere.
What makes Ryuzu Waterfall special is that it isn’t simply a waterfall that drops straight down. Instead, it’s more like a stream extending along the rock face. From the viewing area, you can watch the water rushing downward from up close, and the sound of the water is very soothing.
If you come in the fall, it’s even more beautiful. The surrounding mountains and forests turn red, yellow, and orange, and together with the waterfall, the scenery really captures the feeling of the season in Nikko.
