The virgin forest on both sides of cliffs and the waterfalls over the edges of the river show you different faces throughout all seasons; beautiful turquoise in the river, the vibrant green and red on the trees are so marvelous that it is praised as “Yabakei Gorge of Tohoku.” (Yabakei in Oita Prefecture has been praised as one of the 3 most beautiful sceneries of Japan.)

| Dakigaeri Gorge Looked from the Kami-no-Iwa Bridge |
Soon as you arrive, you will be impressed by the grand panoramic scenery over the Kami-no-Iwa Bridge. Mikaeri-no-taki is a waterfall to which you look forward to at the end of your 15 minutes walk.* The two-stories waterfall is especially gorgeous when looked from a bit far. Make sure you take a look back at the waterfall, as is named as “Waterfall of Looking Back.”
*The Mikaeri-no-Taki Waterfall is the end of your trail, for the road is closed due to the deterioration.
