Japan day 6


After checking out the animals at the farm, we decided to check out another waterfall near by. It turned out to be quite a walk. It was a total of approximately 5 km to the falls from the farm. First was a few km of steep road till we got to the entrance in the forest to the falls. Then it was more walking over rocks, branches and soil for about 1.5 km then it was the climb down. I think it was about 300m down. It wasn't the easiest of climbs as it some of the steps were a little high for my short legs and we had to clamour over rocks at places cuz there weren't any proper steps. In the end the payoff was worth it though. The falls are quite lovely and made all the lovely cuz it was mostly quite untouch by civilization. It helped too that the colours of the trees around it were turning. Very, very kirei. I got no coverage on my phone though, so this isn't a very good place to get into trouble. :-) we saw several other people at the falls. Quite a few of them were older people. Amazing cuz they were quite fit cuz they didn't look like they even broke a sweat. WOW!
