Access: Take a ferry from Kagoshima City to Sakurajima. It's about 62km from Sakurajima, so we recommend a car. The ferry also has a car transportation service, so it's convenient to use. It's cheap. Recommended for family trips and couples trips. Tourist spot: Okawa Falls #Couple trip#Summer trip#Amazing view

Kagoshima Prefecture 💙 Ogawa Falls 💙 Visited in 2019 This is a waterfall that looks great on Instagram. Truly a spectacular view!! The water is so clear!! I went there in a rental car with a navigation system, but I got lost on the way. And the roads along the way were narrow, and there were several tourist buses, so it was difficult to pass each other in some places, so I drove nervously to the waterfall. The parking lot is spacious, and the road to the waterfall is well-maintained. You need to walk a little to get to the waterfall. I feel like the road to the waterfall will be maintained in the near future. Maybe it's already been maintained? #Kagoshima Prefecture #Waterfall #Ogawa Falls #Forest bathing #Amazing view

The majestic waterfall at the southernmost tip of the mainland, Okawa Falls. It's worth the trip! #waterfall #power spot #southernmost tip #kingdom #segodon

Address: Kimotsuki District, Kagoshima Prefecture "Ogawa Falls" It is pronounced Ogawanotaki. This is a waterside spot where the footage used in the opening of the historical drama "Saigo Don" was filmed. The color saturation of the falls varies greatly depending on the amount of water and the weather, so you will never get bored even if you visit several times. If you want to see the blue Ogawa Falls, the best time is during the day when the sun is high and the dam is not releasing water. After heavy rain or when the waterfall is releasing water, the water is murky and you cannot see the blue waterfall, but the waterfall that continues to crash down was powerful and overwhelming. ((Additional details)) If you go along the country road, you will find a large parking lot. After getting out of the car, you will walk about 1.2 kilometers, so trekking shoes and a drink are a must. In summer, it is a good idea to wear a hat to prevent heatstroke. Since it is near the river in summer, it would have been nice to have insect repellent spray! I went there in slippers, and even the small slopes were slippery and dangerous after the rain. Because it is rich in nature, I was surprised to see a snake on the edge of the paved road. I took the Sakurajima Ferry from Kagoshima City, but it is quite far, so it seems like it would be best to take a day to go for a drive. #CoupleTrip #BreathtakingView #Waterfall #WaterfallVisit #Kagoshima #Kagoshima #OsumiTrip #Osumi #Kimotsuki #KagoshimaTrip
