\\Tourist Spots// Nabegataki Falls, which was also used as a location for a certain tea commercial, is a waterfall with a drop of about 10m and a width of about 20m, like a curtain of water. The highlight of this place is that you can go around to the back of the waterfall as well as the front. There are about 120 steps from the parking lot to the waterfall, so sneakers are a must!

#Spring0yentrip When I visited Nabegataki in Kumamoto Prefecture, I was captivated by its beauty and tranquility. Although the drop is not that high, the wide water flowing down looks like a curtain, creating a very fantastical landscape. The charm of Nabegataki is that you can go behind the waterfall. It is not often that you can experience looking out from behind the water, and it made me feel like I was in another world. The spray of the water and the cool breeze are pleasant, and it is especially recommended in the hot season. It is surrounded by nature, and the sound of the river babbling and the birds chirping echoes throughout, making it a truly healing space.

The water of Nabe Falls is fierce and turbulent, and it has a unique shape that looks like a huge pot cascading down. Guo Waterfall is different from other vertical waterfalls. Its water flows like a surging torrent, rushing out from a natural cave on the mountain wall, like water pouring down from the sky, which is eye-catching and breathtaking. After the turbulent water of the waterfall pours out, it not only does not fall directly into the downstream stream, but instead swirls around in the waterfall basin for several times, forming a spinning vortex before continuing down the stream. This scene is unique, as if the waterfall water rushes all the way to the bottom of the valley, and is then pushed upwards by the strange force at the bottom of the valley. The unique shape of Guo Waterfall makes it not only a well-known tourist attraction, but also a popular place for outdoor sports such as extreme photography and ice climbing, attracting countless tourists. #Japan and Korea Springtime Destinations

Nabe Falls is famous for its clear water and beautiful waterfalls. I walked along the stream and admired the spectacular sight of water rushing down from a great height. The scenery here is as colorful as a rainbow, making me feel the wonder of nature. 🌈🌊 The ambience of the waterfall is refreshing and energetic. I bathed in the splashing water, feeling the cool touch. It was a moment of adventure with nature, allowing me to re-experience the coolness of the waterfall and the vitality of nature. 🌿💦 Nabe Falls is a refreshing adventure of verdant waterfalls, where the scenery is vibrant and rich. If you are also longing for an adventure journey that connects you with nature, why not find a suitable time to take a refreshing adventure trip to the Pot Waterfall! 🌈🌊💦 #Japanese and Korean urban attractions

Pot Falls, also known as "Water Curtain Cave Falls," as the name suggests, is that he can walk through to the cave at the back of the falls and enjoy the waterfall from a less commonly seen angle. Although I only went to China more than 2 months ago to see the incomparably spectacular Water Curtain Cave Waterfall, I am still quite looking forward to the view of "Pot Waterfall". Because it is a three-day visit, in order to avoid traffic jams and solve the problem of parking spaces, the local government specially opened the primary school playground not far from the entrance as a temporary parking lot, and then also provided a free shuttle bus to and from the school parking lot and the entrance of the pot of waterfall. It takes about 5 minutes or so from the playground to reach the entrance of Pot Falls, there is actually a lot of parking here, but if you have to enter after 9pm, you will usually be directed to the school playground. To enter Pot Falls you need to purchase a ticket for 300 yen per person, which is actually very cheap considering it offers a free shuttle bus and to maintain the local environment! Follow the steps of the trail down and you will soon reach the front of the Pot Falls. I can only say that the time we came was great, in addition to the blue sky, dazzling sunlight also sprinkled through the treetops into the trees, forming a divine light view above the waterfall of the pot, quite fantastic, highly recommended to visit earlier is better! Although only early 9 am, but there are quite a lot of tourists visiting the pot of the waterfall, and as the time later more and more tourists, unfortunately did not bring a tripod, resulting in shooting silk waterfall will be a little blurry, super unfortunate! Since you can't completely capture the beautiful view of the Pot Falls in front of you with your camera, you have to use your eyes to enjoy it and force the beautiful scenery in front of you to be firmly imprinted in your mind. The waterfall of the pot, which is about 10 meters high and 20 meters wide, falls like a curtain. It is said that it was a waterfall formed after the eruption of Aso volcano 90,000 years ago. It is really hard to imagine that fire can produce water! #hiking #japan #overseas travel #weekend trip #relaxation #like #trip #japan hiking #waterfalls
