Yudaki Waterfall

Yudaki Waterfall is a jaw-dropping spectacle of nature’s force. At the end of the Yukawa River, water tumbles down a steep 70-meter slope, spreading out like a giant fan as it crashes down. The name "Yudaki" means "hot water waterfall," though it’s the mist, not the temperature, that gives it this name—the spray rising like steam as the water hits the rocks below.

What’s amazing about Yudaki is its shape. The water flows down a wide, sloping rock face, creating a powerful, expansive cascade that fills the air with a cool mist and a constant roar. It’s as if the waterfall is alive, pouring energy into the surrounding forest.

The best way to experience Yudaki is by hiking from Lake Yunoko. As you approach, the sound of the water grows, and when you finally reach the base, you’re hit with the full sensory experience—the mist on your skin, the sound of the water pounding the rocks, and the sight of the falls stretching wide before you.
