What other travelers are saying about Yudaki Waterfall
Incredibly beautiful cascades! The entire region is gorgeous and makes for a great day trip from Nikko. You can take the bus or drive up to Lake Chuzenji and hike up here from there. It’s a very easy hike through very pretty woodlands and an old bog and marshland that you walk through via boardwalk. I recommend doing the hike up to really treat yourself here at these falls. Beautiful!
The best times to visit Yudaki Waterfall are spring and autumn. In spring, the surrounding cherry blossoms and greenery are vibrant, while in autumn, the foliage provides a breathtaking array of colors.
Yudaki Waterfall is situated in the Okunikko area of Tochigi Prefecture, near the famous Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls. It is part of the Nikko National Park.
Swimming is not permitted at Yudaki Waterfall. The area is maintained to preserve its natural beauty and ensure visitor safety.
Incredible waterfall, short trek through the snow from the nearest bus stop. No need for snowshoes when we visitied ~end of January. If you want to hike the whole trail you should plan to bring/rent some snowshoes or microspikes. We were fine with some simple boots.
If you came all the way here don’t miss out on the short walk to Yumoto Onsen. Stairs were a bit treacherous (covered with snow) but manageable using the handrails. The strong sulfur smell is from the hot spring source, don’t be alarmed.
amazing area, we got off the Tobu bus at the bottom of the falls where there is a beautiful view, we climbed the stairs to the top where there is a pond and bridge with hundreds of dragonflies, the surrounding area has a larger body of water where locals go fishing, we walked around and spotted wild monkies and deer, definitely my favourite place in Nikko. we visited in august so it was a much needed break from the tokyo heat.
this is my favourite waterfall in nikko as there were very little tourist so I had time to slowly take in the breathtaking view and atmosphere. I did go on a weekday at 9am so maybe that's why there were little people.
