Embraced by the rich natural beauty of Karuizawa, the majestic Ryugaeshi Falls captivates visitors with its breathtaking power. Standing approximately 30 meters high, the water thunders down the rock face, its spray echoing through the surrounding area. Well-maintained walking paths wind through the lush forest leading to the falls. The sunlight filtering through the trees creates a magical atmosphere, as if you've stumbled into another world. The fresh air and birdsong are soothing, offering a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As you approach the base of the falls, the spray will mist your face, allowing you to fully experience its power. It's truly a healing space where you can refresh your mind and body while breathing in the abundant negative ions.
Ryugaeshi Falls has long been cherished by locals, and many legends are passed down through generations. One tale recounts that the falls were formed when a dragon, attempting to ascend to heaven, kicked a rock with such force that it created the waterfall. There's even a cave nearby rumored to have been the dragon's dwelling.
Ryugaeshi Falls is a must-see destination when visiting Karuizawa. Experience the majesty of nature, the power of negative ions, and create unforgettable memories.
