Sekiyama-otaki Falls

Sekiyama-otaki Falls is a waterfall in Higashine that cascades over a broad rocky face into an emerald green pool below. The water drops in a trapezoidal formation that creates a natural basin where the stream slows and deepens.

The waterfall's name includes 'seki', meaning connection, which reflects its location along a major route linking coastal and mountain regions. The site has long served as a junction point between different parts of the landscape.

The Otaki Drive-in Izumiya restaurant near the falls serves regional dishes including chars, ayu fish, and grilled miso rice balls.

A short walking path of about 200 meters from the parking area leads directly to the falls and is easy to manage. Most visitors can explore the area in a short amount of time.

A red bridge crosses the nearby river and offers views of fish swimming in the clear waters below. These fish are easy to spot in the transparent stream.
