Overview

Todoroki Ninety-Nine Waterfalls are located in Ooyuoyagawa Valley, Kaiyo-cho, Kaibu-gun, Tokushima Prefecture. Their grandeur and beauty have earned them a place among Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. The name "Todoroki Ninety-Nine Waterfalls" refers to the numerous waterfalls clustered around Todoroki Shrine; "ninety-nine" implies a large number. Todoroki Waterfall, a symbol of the area, is a breathtaking 58-meter cascade, the highest in Tokushima Prefecture. Located deep within Todoroki Shrine, it's revered as the sacred object of Hontaki Shrine, a sub-shrine. An autumn festival is held on the second Sunday of November, culminating in the spectacular Taki-togyo (waterfall procession), where a portable shrine is carried into the waterfall basin. Above Todoroki Waterfall, a series of uniquely beautiful waterfalls unfolds: Nijuu no Taki (Double Waterfall), Yokomi no Taki (Side View Waterfall), Funataki (Boat Waterfall), Marubuchi Waterfall, Torikaeshi Waterfall, O-Karasu Ko-Karasu Waterfall, Missozai Waterfall, and finally, at the very top, Nabewari Waterfall, the sacred object of Nabewari Shrine, the inner shrine of Todoroki Shrine, located 1500 meters from Todoroki Waterfall along the walking path. The well-maintained walking path through Todoroki Ninety-Nine Waterfalls makes for an easy and enjoyable stroll. Surrounded by lush greenery, you can relax to the sounds of cascading water and babbling streams, feeling the power of nature. The waterfalls are especially beautiful in spring and after rain, with vibrant green foliage and the mist from the falls often creating rainbows, a truly magical sight. Todoroki Ninety-Nine Waterfalls offer a space of profound natural beauty and tranquility. We highly recommend a visit.
