There are many old trees around here, and the view from the falls front is majestic and mysterious with a small shrine (the God of Fire).

About 20 min by car and 20 min walk from our guesthouse. "Ukegawa-no-Otakisan", Falls of Ukegawa, tributary of Kumanogawa River, is 20 m high and feminine in its beauty. A small shrine (the God of Fire) is located near the waterfall basin and the background depression is fantastic.
Ayugaeshi-no-taki
One of waterfalls at Ohtou Ravine, starting from Mount Ohtou (1112 m) that commands a view of Kumano 3,600 peaks, runs about 8 km. On both sides there are steep peaks, whereas the river has depths, pools and torrents. The panorama provides for an ambience of high mountains and deep valleys. Scenic rocks and precipices below the eyes are beyond description. This is a treasure of nature, rare even in Japan, that develops different faces in four seasons.
