楊梅の滝, Multi-tiered waterfall in Otsu, Japan

Yōbai no Taki is a stepped waterfall on a Cretaceous granite bed in the Hira mountains of Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture. It has three tiers: the 40 m Odaki (male fall) at the top, the 21 m Yaken no Taki below it, and the 15 m Medaki (female fall) at the bottom, for a total drop of 76 m, the greatest in Shiga Prefecture.

In 1554, shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru visited the falls and gave them the name Yanagi-Matsu no Taki, written with characters for the bayberry tree. The reading has since shifted to the Sino-Japanese form Yōbai no Taki, the name in general use today.

The falls are also called Yamamomo no Taki, Shirafu no Taki and Nunobiki no Taki. According to tradition, Ashikaga Yoshiteru named them Yamamomo no Taki when he visited in 1554; today the on-reading Yo-bai no Taki is common. A tale recorded in Shiga-cho Mukashibanashi tells of a husband-and-wife pair of giant serpents, one in the male Odaki and one in the female Medaki.

The falls lie beyond Hira Genki-mura, northwest of JR Kosei Line's Kitakomatsu Station. The route to the upper Odaki and Yaken Falls is a full mountain trail marked by an "Air Rescue Point 縦走1" sign, so proper footwear is needed; the lower Medaki is the easier objective.

The cascades flow over rock formations dating back to the Cretaceous period, situated within a protected natural area. This geological feature gives the place particular interest for nature enthusiasts.
