大轟の滝, Multi-tiered waterfall in Naka, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.
Otodoro Falls descends in three separate tiers with a combined height of about 20 meters, each section dropping into its own basin. The structure creates distinct water flows that merge into a main pool at the base.
The waterfall gained recognition when designated as one of Tokushima Prefecture's 88 scenic natural sites, marking its importance to the region. This selection reflects the value placed on preserving such landscapes.
Local residents celebrate the waterfall each November with illumination events that transform the cascading waters into a nighttime spectacle.
The falls are visible directly from National Route 193, making them easy to spot while traveling. No official parking area sits right at the viewing point, so plan your stop accordingly.
Above the main drop lies a gorge section containing smaller 6-meter cascades and polished rock formations shaped by water flow. This upper area offers visitors a different view of how the water system works within the canyon.
