Toroki Falls

4.1 (200)Natural FeatureEstablishment

Toroki Falls is a unique and stunning waterfall located on Yakushima Island. What makes Toroki Falls special is that it flows directly into the ocean, creating a mesmerizing blend of fresh and saltwater. The waterfall is relatively small, with a gentle cascade that drops about six meters, but its beauty is captivating. The water tumbles over rocks covered in lush green moss, adding to the scenic view.

The falls are surrounded by dense forest, which gives the area a peaceful and secluded feel. It's a great spot for nature lovers and photographers, offering a chance to capture the contrast between the vibrant greenery and the flowing water. The site is easily accessible, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Toroki Falls is the way it interacts with the tides. During high tide, the water from the falls mixes seamlessly with the sea, creating a unique natural spectacle.

What other travelers are saying about Toroki Falls

There is a side road behind the Pontankan sign opposite Magokoro City Pontankan, so you can go to the waterfall from there. I want a signboard for Toroki Falls.

According to Kagoshima's tourist website, Toroki Falls is located at the mouth of the Koinogawa River and is ``one of only two waterfalls in Japan that fall into the sea.'' Parking is at the large parking lot of Pontankan located across the road, which is about a 3-minute walk from there.The path is paved halfway, but the road at the end is a little rough, so we recommend wearing sports shoes. Masu. At the observation deck, you can see the waterfall flowing directly from the river into the sea, the red bridge, and Mt. Mocchomu with its exposed rocks in the background. After seeing the waterfall, we recommend trying Pontankan's passion fruit shaved ice!

You can see the waterfall falling into the sea. This is an observation deck where you can see the waterfall in the distance. Park your car in the parking lot of JA Tanegayaku Magokoro City Pontankan, and across the road there is a side road leading to the observation deck. A short walk will take you to the observation deck.

Although it is small in scale, I think it is an interesting sight as it flows directly into the sea.
I visited on a rainy day, so there was a lot of water, and it was impressive even from a distance. The entrance to the promenade is across the road from Pontankan. I didn't notice it at first and ended up going to the right bank of the river by mistake.
