Kegon Falls
There are 48 waterfalls in Nikko, the most famous among them being Kegon Falls. Along with Nachi Falls in Wakayama prefecture and Fukuroda Falls in Ibaraki prefecture, Kegon Falls is part of what is referred to as “Japan’s Three Great Waterfalls.” The sheer force and beauty of water falling from a height of 97 meters is the epitome of nature’s majesty.
