鳳鳴四十八瀑布

The Akame 48 Waterfalls spans across a four-kilometer stretch with cascading waters flowing through a gorge in Muro-Akame-Aoyama Quasi-National Park.

From the 15th to 18th centuries, the Akame Valley served as a specialized training ground for the Iga-ryu ninja warriors.

The name derives from esoteric Buddhism, where the number 48 represents the traditional vows taken by bodhisattvas rather than the actual count of waterfalls.

Visitors reach the falls by taking a train to Akameguchi Station on the Kintetsu Line followed by a ten-minute bus ride to the entrance.

The Japanese Salamander Center near the falls provides information about the Japanese giant salamander, which inhabits the natural waters of this region.
