What makes it special
About Ryuzu Falls
- Autumn Foliage: The view from the observation deck is one of the best spots to experience the earliest autumn colors in the Nikko area.
- Dragon Head Shape: Look closely at the base of the falls; the way the water splits around the large rock creates a striking dragon-like appearance.
- Seasonal Blooms: If you love flowers, visit between May and June to see the beautiful reddish-purple Togo-ku Mitsubatsutsuji in bloom.
- Observation Deck: Be sure to use the observation deck to get a dynamic, high-angle view of the entire cascading waterfall.
