Yōrō Falls

The 32-meter-high waterfall forms a vertical white curtain of water against dark rock faces, flowing into a clear pool in Yoro Park.

In 717 AD, Empress Gensho visited these falls, leading to the establishment of the Yoro era and construction of a Shinto shrine 500 meters downstream.

Local folklore tells of a son who discovered the falls' water tasted like sake and offered it to his ill father, resulting in a miraculous recovery.

Visitors can reach the falls through a 500-meter walking path from the parking area or take a lift service available within Yoro Park.

The water from these falls supplies the ingredients for Yoro Sanroku Cider, a carbonated beverage produced in the local area.
