Welcome to NIKKO, Tochigi Prefecture, home of the stunning Kegon Falls, one of "Japan's three great waterfalls." While Mother Nature seems to have dialed down the flow at the falls recently, there is still plenty to see and enjoy in this beautiful natural wonder.
Despite the reduced water volume at Kegon Falls, visitors can still marvel at its impressive 96-meter drop. While the water flow has been limited in recent months, there is hope that it will return to its usual splendor soon.
Tourists may be surprised by the current trickle of water at the falls, but it presents a unique opportunity to witness this natural phenomenon in a different light. While some may be disappointed, others find joy in the curiosity of the situation.
The decrease in water volume can be attributed to low levels at Lake Chuzenjiko, the source of the waterfall. Officials are working to manage the water levels and hope to restore the falls to their full glory in the near future.
While the reduced water flow may have impacted sightseeing activities in the area, including boat tours and visits to historic villas, there is still plenty to explore and enjoy in the surrounding area.
As we wait for the water levels to rise once again, let's appreciate the beauty of Kegon Falls in its current state and look forward to a future filled with the thundering sound of water cascading down the rocks. Visit NIKKO and experience the magic of nature for yourself!
