Sō Falls, Waterfall in Myoko, Japan
The Sō Falls cascade down a height of 55 meters through the mountain landscape, creating a white water display visible from designated observation points.
The inclusion of Sō Falls in Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls list led to increased recognition and preservation efforts in the Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park region.
Local residents maintain traditional practices near Sō Falls, including nagashi somen restaurants where diners catch flowing noodles from streaming water channels.
Visitors reach the waterfall through a 1.2-kilometer round trip trail from the parking area at Tsubame Onsen, with the journey taking approximately 30 minutes.
The waterfall's flow changes dramatically with seasons, reaching peak volume during spring snowmelt and creating different viewing experiences throughout the year.
