It’s one of most scenic landmarks or sacred ground in Japan. Its verdure will definitely blow someone’s mind. Natures serenity gives you complete immovability. The waterfall itself so pulchritudinous that you reluctant to leave. Note: pagoda and falls are not in same place, therefore you have to go little uphill. I went there by car but majority goes by foot. Transportation: Easy accessible by both private or public transport. Parking & bus stoppages both are within 100m. Nachifall Entry:¥300 Parking: ¥500~¥1000

This is one of the must visit place in Japan. The view and the surrounding nature was awesome. The torii and the pagoda are in different places. For torii you have to go down the stairs from the parking area. And for the pagoda there is 15min hike through the stairs. But the view is really worth the hike.

Beautiful sacred place to visit in Japan. This is one of the places made you feel like it captures the spirits of Japan, keeping the tradition inseparable from nature. The lush green of the trees around already won my heart, not to mention the majestic shot of waterfalls like arrows. It can't help reminding me of the dragon gate. Further as I learned about the myth of Jimmu and the dragon statues providing the waters, I felt a deeper connection with this place. In any event, come to find your personal connection to this heritage!

Amazing waterfall 133 metres tall! Beautiful forest surrounding. Can buy souvenirs & small amount of food.

Quite a unique experience. This is a must visit if you are along the coast of Wakayama. From the parking lot, there's a 100 metre pathway which leads to series of stairs (3-4 storeys) to get down to the viewpoint for the Nachi Falls. Expect to spend up to 30 minutes here not including the hike up to the Temple.

Absolute highlight of my japan experience so far. Absolutely serene. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing of an experience this was. Truly a once in a lifetime view. Go early in the morning and take the Kumano Kodo up the mountain, I have never gone on a more beautiful and rewarding hike. This was the best thing I've seen in Japan so .

Breathtakingly amazing. I think this is a very very underrated destination. I recommend everyone come here at least once in their life.
