What other travelers are saying about Kegon Waterfall (Kegon no taki)
Been there couple days ago (February '25).
Although it's still winter, the view is still stunning.
Paid ¥600 for a 100-m-height elevator which took you down to the 3-level observatory deck.
Tips:
1. There are 2 vending machines (near the entry gate and in the observatory deck) for customised keychain which enables you to grave name and date, so, consider bringing some spare coins.
2. The sun sets at the direction against the waterfall (in the Lake Chusenji), so you may adjust the time you plan to come and the view you'll expect there.
Breath taking view of the waterfall. The snow cover the surroundings made it so beautiful. If you want to go to the observatory and take pictures or th3 views of the waterfalls and surroundings, there is a fee. It's worth it!
Great view, from the paid elevator 100m down. Looks great November onwards. I have been in November, though late autumn, it had some fantastic views, gigantic falls , excellent instagramable views.
One of the top 3 waterfalls in Japan. Magnificent! You can't leave Nikko without visiting this and definitely pay the 600 yen for the elevator to have a much closer look at the falls.
Good experience! Even if you don’t have to go down the elevator, you can see it from the deck. I went there during winter, I think it is best to go on another season 😊
