Kegon Waterfall

Kegon Waterfall

Kegon Waterfall, located near Lake Chuzenji in Nikko, Japan, is one of the country’s most majestic natural wonders. With a height of 97 meters, it ranks as one of Japan’s highest waterfalls. Fed by the waters of Lake Chuzenji, the falls plunge dramatically down a rocky precipice, surrounded by lush greenery.

A prominent feature of Nikko’s scenic landscape, Kegon Waterfall is particularly stunning during the autumn season when the surrounding foliage transforms into a vibrant display of reds and golds. The falls also take on a different allure during winter, when the freezing temperatures often create a breathtaking ice sculpture around the cascading waters.

Access to the falls is facilitated by an elevator that provides a panoramic view of the waterfall and the surrounding nature. Kegon Waterfall is not only a natural spectacle but also a symbol of the region’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a serene escape in the heart of Nikko’s picturesque scenery.
