What other travelers are saying about Kegon Waterfall (Kegon no taki)
Very beautiful and long waterfall! We took the elevator to go 100m down and see it more closely from a lower angle. The cost of the elevator is 600¥ per adult and it’s cash only.
Beautiful waterfalls and worth the small cost to take the elevator down 100 metres to the bottom for the views. The ride up the mountains is amazing as well
We visited this waterfall within a nice park. There were food and drink stores here. The elevator goes down 100 m to the falls, but there are steep stairs down so it's not wheelchair accessible and a challenge for those with walking disabilities. The waterfall is still visible even if you don't take the elevator down. We had a pleasant time here.
The water of Lake Chuzenji pours down from a 97-meter-high cliff. It is a grand scale where you can feel the majesty of nature and the beauty of its gorgeous shapes at the same time.
Kegon Falls is known as one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan, along with Fukuroda Falls in Ibaraki Prefecture and Nachi Falls in Wakayama Prefecture.
Kegon Falls is one of the most breathtaking waterfalls I’ve visited in Japan. The powerful drop surrounded by colorful cliffs and lush scenery creates an unforgettable view. The observation deck offers a perfect photo spot, especially during autumn when the trees burst into vibrant colors. An absolute must-visit if you’re exploring Nikko!
