Senpiro Falls

The Senpiro Falls cascade down a massive granite cliff face, creating a 60-meter vertical drop within a V-shaped valley on Yakushima Island.

The waterfall received its name from the size of its granite rock face, which measures the equivalent of a thousand people standing with linked hands.

Local residents incorporated the falls into their traditional measurement system, using 'hiro,' an ancient Japanese unit based on arm span length.

Visitors can reach the falls by car in 23 minutes from Anbo port or 49 minutes from Miyanoura, with parking facilities for 25 cars and 5 buses.

The waterfall flows over a single granite rock formation measuring 250 by 300 meters, creating distinct patterns during different rainfall intensities.
