虹の滝, Mountain waterfall in Miki, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Niji no Taki is a waterfall with two main cascades located near Miki in Kagawa Prefecture. The upper fall drops around 11 meters while the lower one falls approximately 8 meters, creating a layered descent into a pool below.
The name comes from rainbows that form when sunlight hits the water spray. This visual effect became the defining characteristic that gave the falls their distinctive name.
This waterfall is included in the Sanuki Hundred Views, a collection of notable landscapes valued in the Kagawa region. This recognition shows how locals regard certain natural places as meaningful parts of their surroundings.
A nearby camping ground provides access to the waterfall and offers accommodation options along with recreational facilities for visitors. Visiting during sunny conditions allows you to see the rainbow effects that are most visible when sunlight is strong.
The water flow remains constant throughout the year, ensuring that rainbow effects appear regularly. This steady water volume means each visit offers a reliable chance to see the colored patterns in the mist.
