Chagama Falls, Natural waterfall in Kazuno, Japan
Chagama Falls is a waterfall located along the Yoakeshima branch of the Yoneshiro River in Akita Prefecture. The water drops straight down in a single vertical column that reaches about 100 meters high.
This waterfall was included in Japan's official Top 100 Waterfalls list published by the Ministry of Environment in 1990. This recognition brought attention to the site as a notable natural location in the region.
Local residents of Kazuno incorporate the presence of Chagama Falls into their daily lives, reflecting Japanese appreciation for natural water features.
Reaching this spot requires a challenging hike of several kilometers over rough and uneven ground. Visitors should bring proper hiking gear and be prepared for a strenuous walk.
This waterfall sits in a remote section of the Hachimantai district, far from typical hiking trails and tourist paths. This isolation makes it a rare discovery for nature lovers seeking untouched wilderness.
