Situated at an altitude of 1,510 meters in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, Oshidori-Kakushi Falls grace the upper reaches of the Shibu River as it winds through the scenic Yokoya Gorge.
Conveniently located just below the historic Meiji Onsen Ryokan, the falls are only a short 10-minute walk from the nearby Mishaka-Ike Pond parking lot, making it a perfect addition to a day of exploration. From the Tokyo metro area, access to this natural gem is less than a four-hour drive, making it an ideal retreat for those looking to escape the city.
The falls are celebrated for their captivating landscape, where vibrant moss blankets the rocks, thriving alongside lush foliage. This greenery contrasts beautifully with the reddish hue of the earth, colored by the mineral-rich, acidic waters flowing from nearby hot springs.
In summer, Oshidori-Kakushi Falls unveil a stunning palette of greens, blues, and azure, while autumn transforms the scenery into a brilliant display of reds, oranges, and yellows. For those seeking a peaceful and cool retreat during the summer heat, arriving just before sunrise offers not only a cooler temperature but also a refreshing mist that fills the air, creating a rejuvenating experience for all who visit.
