Ryūsō Falls, Waterfall in Ikeda, Japan
The Ryūsō Falls cascade down in multiple steps, reaching a height of 60 meters and stretching 20 meters wide along the rock face.
The Japanese Ministry of Environment recognized Ryūsō Falls in 1990 by including it in their official list of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls.
The waterfall forms part of the Kuzuryū River system, serving as a natural landmark that draws photographers and nature enthusiasts throughout the year.
Access to Ryūsō Falls remains closed from late November through March, and visitors should note the absence of mobile phone reception at the location.
During clear afternoons, typically around 2 PM, a rainbow materializes across the waterfall, creating natural color patterns against the flowing water.
