Great parc, great hike to the waterfalls.
Lots of insects and sole wild animals you can observe if you pay attention. Careful with monkeys, you have signs all around the park telling you not to feed them.
Take your time while hiking to enjoy the scenary.
Also Ely park filled with beauty spits and notable shrines and temples etc. you can easily spend an afternoon here casually working up to the falls.
The walk is not so challenging and moderate fitness is fine for a casual walk up.
It can be steep in places and even at a steady walking pace you are looking at a healthy 30+mins and a moderate sweat, drenched on hot summer days.
Lots of nice restaurants on the way up, I recommend taking a break at one.
The view was breathtaking. The "hiking trail", if we can call it that, was well maintained. The route was pretty easy. The Elevation also wasnt very steep. Its suitable for anyone, including kids if you wanted to bring them here.
Nice place to hike. The place is very well maintained and the food on offer is tasty. Toilets are remarkably clean and the trails are spotless. Such a great contrast to the national parks of countries like Malaysia, which can be horrific and poorly managed in so many ways. None of those issues here. Places like this make me love Japan and its culture so much.
One of the most beautiful trails I've come across since moving to Japan. The main path is fairly easy to walk but if you want something a little more strenuous, take one of the side paths. These side trails have little secret scenic spots that are worth a detour.
