観音滝公園, Park around Kannon Falls in Satsuma, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

Kannon Falls Park is a natural park in Satsuma featuring a two-stream waterfall that descends along a steep rocky cliff within a forested valley in Kagoshima Prefecture. The site is surrounded by dense woodland and provides visitors with a natural setting where water and forest meet.

The park's facilities, including the campsite, river pool, soba-making workshop, glass craft hall, ground golf course, onsen, lodging and nagashi-somen stands, were closed in December 2022. The park itself still exists. Access is mainly by private car: about 30 minutes from the Satsuma-Kannon Falls interchange of the Hokusatsu crossing road, or a bus to Satsuma branch office then a short taxi ride.

The park takes its name from Kannon Falls, and a temple to Kannon, the Buddhist figure of mercy, stands by the falls. The facilities built around it, including a soba-making workshop and a glass craft hall, closed in December 2022, so the temple and the falls are now the main points of interest for visitors.

Access is mainly by private car: about 30 minutes from the Koba-Kagoshima Airport interchange via the Hokusatsu crossing road to the Satsuma Kannon Falls interchange. From Kagoshima Airport, a limousine bus toward Akune City Hall stops at Satsuma Branch Office in about 30 minutes; from there it is about 5 minutes by taxi or 40 minutes on foot uphill. The park's facilities closed in December 2022.

The facilities that once drew visitors here — campsite, river pool, soba-making workshop, glass craft hall, ground golf course, hot spring, lodging and nagashi-somen — were all closed in December 2022. The park itself still exists, and the observation point that overlooks the whole site remains the reason to come.
