The second day was a bit more packed despite the first day's epic hike. We started off at Kegon Falls. I've already been here before but I still recommend them to go down to see it closer as we stopped by the far-off observatory first. Once again, it was well worth it to see one of Japan's Top 3 Waterfalls up close.
Next stop was Kanmagafuchi Abyss, famous for a long line of Jizo statues by the river. It was quiet and peaceful with not much other people, a good contrast to the busy Kegon Falls. We were doing quite a lot of waterfall hopping today too as we also went to Ryuzu Falls before starting the walking trail around Senjogahara Marsh. During autumn, the whole grassland also turns into a fantastic shade of orange so it was perfect timing.
At the end of the trail was Kodaki, the little fall. They had thought that this was already the final part until I pointed out that the actual waterfall was still a few meters away. The final stop was actually Yudaki Falls, one of the most impressive and beautiful waterfalls I have seen. Like a blanket of water carefully draping the black cliffs. There was even a troop of monkeys crossing the river. What a sight that was. We had some of their famous udon here for lunch and managed to catch the bus going back to where we parked the car by Ryuzu Falls.
From then on, it was a long drive back to Tokyo.Read more
