Yukiwa Falls, 80-meter waterfall in Nametoko Gorge, Japan
The water of Yukiwa Falls descends through granite rocks, creating circular patterns across its 20-meter width as it plunges down the cliff face.
The geological formations around Yukiwa Falls developed over millions of years through natural erosion processes, shaping the current landscape of Nametoko Gorge.
Yukiwa Falls holds position 79 in Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls list, representing the natural heritage of Ehime Prefecture in the Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park.
Visitors can reach Yukiwa Falls within 30 minutes by car from Uwajima-Asahi Interchange or take a 50-minute journey from JR Uwajima Station.
The waterfall's name, Yukiwa-no-taki, derives from the circular patterns in the falling water that resemble rings of snow against the rock surface.
