Koga Falls

The Koga Falls system features two separate cascades, with Odaki dropping 80 meters and Medaki extending 100 meters through volcanic terrain.

The falls formed within the Aso region, which contains one of Japan's most active volcanic areas, shaping the landscape over thousands of years.

Local residents maintain traditional practices near the falls, including seasonal illumination events from mid-January through February that highlight the frozen cascades.

Visitors can access the falls through a designated parking area for 300 yen, with guidance available from the Aso City Tourism Division.

During winter months, strong winds from the Aso Valley create natural ice formations along the falls, producing distinct crystalline patterns.
