Ogawa Falls, Mountain waterfall in Osumi Peninsula, Japan

The waterfall cascades down 46 meters in height and spans 60 meters across, flowing into a basin filled with emerald green water.

The waterfall appeared in the opening sequence of NHK television drama Segodon in 2018, bringing national attention to this natural formation.

The site maintains strict preservation rules, limiting visitor access to daylight hours and establishing designated observation points for nature appreciation.

Visitors need to walk 1200 meters on a paved trail from the parking lot, with an entrance fee of 300 yen for adults starting July 2024.

The waterfall's basin reveals white sand and weathered rocks beneath the surface due to controlled water flow from upstream hydroelectric operations.
