A forest walk to the main island’s biggest fall

Hours

9am–4pm last entry (to 3pm from November to March)

Tickets

Trail fee: adults ¥500, elementary/junior high ¥300

Address

Hiji, Kunigami, at the Hiji campground entrance

Behind the campground a forest path starts and the sound of a stream follows you. A few wooden bridges and stone steps later, a waterfall of roughly 25 metres appears. Tree lizards and big butterflies turn up along the way. It sits deep in northern Yanbaru, so it needs a day with slack in it.
