What other travelers are saying about Hiji Waterfall
Great short hike to a beautiful waterfall. We went at the end of August and we were hot but not unbearably so.
The water was so clear. It was tempting to jump into the water throughout the hike! There is an area designated to play in the creek not too far from the entrance, so if you want to get wet, that’s the spot to do it.
I surprisingly had NO bug bites. Mosquitos usually flock to me but there weren’t any!
Path was well-maintained. There was never any question of which direction to go.
Definitely recommend doing this hike if you are in the area!
Nice hike of 4.2km go and back. Beautiful walk along a river leading to waterfalls in the middle of the forest. Expect some going up and down and quite a few steps.
Good for families.
Pets not allowed.
Entrance fee to pay by cash only.
⚠️ Attention this is not the access by car, for the right location look for Hiji Falls Gate. There are 3 parkings.
Hijio Falls is a great little hike that is well maintained and beginner friendly.
It is a steep hike up some stairs at some points but overall it’s not too long and probably took us around 40min there and back while also stopping for pictures.
The trail is absolutely beautiful with the amount of nature around it.
Amazing waterfall!! Very enclosed in nature, at the start of the trail there’s spots for BBQ’s and relaxing too, amazing for a day in nature, the entrance is only 500yen (adults)!
Hike there was great, saw a couple cool birds and animals around, (nothing aggressive or anything).
The waterfall itself is completely mesmerizing and water is freezing!!
Right now people can’t swim in it no more, because other past tourists left trash and did dangerous stunts, please do not leave trash or injure yourself!!!
Keep the beauty of this place clean and untouched!!
A nice trek through nature. Pathways are easily walkable, but be sure to work on the old glutes beforehand. Why? Well there are a heck of a lot of stairs. Made the whole trek with a 2 year old on my back and the eye of the tiger uh… in my head. 4 year old made it all the way. The end spot is gorgeous, smells like you think a jungle should (in a good way) and rather meditative. If you go in summer or fall bring your bug spray.
