Kaminari Falls, Natural waterfall in Takayama, Japan.
Kaminari Falls drops from an elevation of 1300 meters on Mount Ibushiyama, creating water cascades within a steep ravine surrounded by ancient trees.
The waterfall forms part of the 48 waterfalls in the Utsue area, which has drawn nature enthusiasts to Takayama's mountain ranges for generations.
The Japanese name '雷滝' translates to Thunder Falls, referring to the sound produced by the water flow during heavy rainfall periods.
Visitors can access the falls through a 15-minute drive from JR Hida-Furukawa Station, with an entrance fee of 200 yen for adults.
Between mid-October and early November, the waterfall becomes framed by red and orange maple leaves, earning its place among Hida-Mino's top autumn viewing locations.
