Autumn Foliage

Ryuzu Falls is the waterfall where the Yukawa River, flowing from Yudaki Falls through Senjogahara Marshland in Okunikko, reaches Lake Chuzenji. The plunge pool is split in two by a large rock, which resembles a dragon’s head, which is why it’s called Ryuzu Falls. The falls stretch 210 meters, and a path with steps runs alongside them, allowing visitors to walk along the waterfall. The surrounding foliage turns vivid red in autumn, making it a popular spot for photography.
