Tsuzumigataki Park, Mountain waterfall park in Arimachō, Japan
Tsuzumigataki Park is a nature park on Mount Rokkō featuring a central waterfall that flows down through rocky terrain and green slopes. The park is connected by walking trails that guide visitors through different sections of forest.
The waterfall became known in the early 20th century as a recreation spot in Kobe's mountain regions, drawing people interested in nature. Over time it developed into an established destination for those seeking mountain landscapes.
The name comes from the Japanese drum called tsuzumi, because the sound of the falling water resembles the rhythms of traditional percussion. You can hear this musical quality yourself when you stand close to the cascade.
The park is accessible through local transport networks and has basic facilities like restrooms and information boards at various points. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and wet conditions, especially near the waterfall.
The waterfall changes its appearance and volume noticeably across the seasons, with varying water flows and sounds echoing through the rock formations. These shifts give the place a different feel on each visit.
