🤽🏻‍♀️Refreshing Takihata Springwater Waterfalls Hike🤽🏻‍♀️, Sun, Jul 28, 2024, 11:15 AM ...

No need to speak English. With a mix of Japanese and foreign participants, the atmosphere is always fantastic. Some may not speak English at all, but you can still have a great time:) Cheers!

Join us for a refreshing adventure to beat the summer heat at the breathtaking Takihata Springwater Waterfalls! Feel free to swim or simply dip your feet in the crystal-clear waters.

Embark on an easy hike along rural mountain roads next to the pristine Ishikawa River. Take in the picturesque scenery and immerse yourself in the Kotaki Waterfall and its inviting plunge pool.

Don't forget to pack plenty of water and a bento for the journey. While there are vending machines and small stores en route, they offer only snacks.

Prepare swimwear, a towel, and river-friendly shoes for the adventure. Whether you swim or simply dip your toes, a silly floatation device could add extra fun to the experience.
