Naena Falls

Naena Falls is a waterfall in Myoko that descends a steep rocky cliff face into a pool below. The site includes a dam structure and a walking path that crosses a suspension bridge to bring visitors near the drop.

The waterfall received recognition from Japan's Ministry of Environment for its natural and geological value. This official selection placed it among the nation's important water sites.

The falls hold meaning for people who visit and live nearby, drawing those seeking to connect with water and natural forces. Local traditions involve sharing meals and enjoying time in the space where the cascade meets the landscape below.

A paved path connects the parking area to the falls and takes only a short walk to reach the main view. The route includes some steps and a bridge crossing, so wear comfortable shoes suitable for uneven ground.

Local people gave this place the name 'Earthquake Falls' because of the loud sound the water makes when it hits the rocks below. The booming noise echoes through the valley so strongly that it feels like the ground is shaking.
