Read before you travel! Sightseeing tips included! ️ See the spectacular waterfalls cascading down the rock face 🌊 🐉🍁✨

[Summary] Ryuzunotaki, located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a waterfall where the Yukawa River, which flows out of Lake Yunoko in Oku-Nikko, empties into Lake Chuzenji. As its name suggests, the waterfall's fork looks like a dragon's head. 🐉 The sight of the powerful waterfall cascading down the rock face for approximately 210 meters is truly impressive. 🤩 In autumn, the maple and oak trees surrounding the waterfall take on vibrant colors, creating a stunning contrast between the white spray and the autumn leaves. 🎨 [Recommended Points] * Unique shape resembling a "dragon's head": The water splits in two near the base of the falls, and the dynamic cascade that cascades between a large rock and the water is truly reminiscent of a dragon's head. 🐉 This unique shape, unlike any other waterfall, is a major attraction. * The beautiful contrast between the waterfall and the autumn foliage: The combination of the white spray of the rushing water and the fiery reds and yellows of the autumn leaves surrounding the falls is breathtaking🍁. Many photography enthusiasts flock here during the autumn foliage season📸. * An easily accessible observation deck: There's an observation deck right next to the falls, where you can enjoy the entire waterfall and the autumn foliage up close👀. There's also a teahouse, where you can take a break and enjoy the spectacular view🍵. [Pay attention!] When you visit Ryuzu Falls, be sure to pay attention to the **different views from above and below the falls**.🧐 The "dragon's head" near the basin from the observation deck is impressive, of course, but the view from the uppermost point of the falls, a short walk up the trail, is also spectacular. You can feel the dynamic movement of the entire waterfall cascading down like a mountain stream🌊. Another attraction of this spot is the teahouse located near the waterfall basin. Enjoy a luxurious time savoring the spectacular view of the waterfall and autumn foliage up close while sipping hot tea. 😌 [Information] * Address: Nakamiya Shrine, Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture 📍 * Access: * Take the Tobu bus from JR or Tobu Nikko Station and get off at "Ryuzu Falls." 🚌 * Approximately 40 minutes from the Kiyotaki IC on the Nikko-Utsunomiya Expressway via Irohazaka and Lake Chuzenji. 🚗 * Opening Hours: Free to stroll around all day ⏰ * Fee: Free to view the waterfall 🆓 * Best Time to Visit: Late September to early October 🍂 [Nearby Sightseeing Information] After enjoying Ryuzu Falls, explore the surrounding tourist spots in Oku-Nikko! * Senjogahara: A hiking spot with a vast marshland. 🌾 In autumn, the golden color of the maple leaves contrasts beautifully with the surrounding autumn foliage. * Yudaki: A spectacular 70-meter-high, 100-meter-wide waterfall cascading from Lake Yunoko. 🌊 You can descend close to the basin and experience its power. * Lake Chuzenji: Tochigi Prefecture's largest lake, home to the Embassy Villa Memorial Park and other attractions on its shores. 🛶 Foliage-viewing boat rides from the lake are also popular. [Summary] Tochigi Prefecture's Ryuzu Falls is a captivating spot, known for its unique dragon-head shape and spectacular views during the autumn foliage season. ✨ The contrast between the white spray of the water and the vibrant autumn leaves is truly a work of art created by nature. Why not come and experience the majestic nature and autumn leaves of Oku-Nikko? #AutumnFoliageSeason
