Yuhi Falls

Yuhi Falls is a waterfall on the upper Kari River in Minamiashigara that drops down a rocky cliff face. Water flows through a forested area that transforms with the seasons, creating different views throughout the year.

The waterfall sits in a region with a long history of human settlement, with the surrounding mountains holding significance for local communities across centuries. The river has shaped the landscape over many generations.

Local residents gather near the falls during summer months for traditional outdoor activities, including community festivals and family celebrations.

Morning visits work best when fewer people are around the area. The paths to the waterfall can become slippery after rain, so proper footwear is important.

The sun creates special light effects on the water at certain times of the year that return regularly. Witnessing this natural phenomenon requires a bit of timing luck.
