Kobei Falls (Ritsumata Gorge)

The largest waterfall in the Ritsumata Gorge--A must-see!

Kobei Falls is located in the Ritsumata Gorge on the western slopes of Mt. Buna (1,016m). Just a 10-minute walk from the parking lot is the 30m (98ft) Ichinotaki Falls, which features a pillar-like drop. 30 minutes from Ichinotaki Falls is the 20m Ninotaki Falls. Kobei Falls Lookout Point is a 20 minute climb from Ninotaki falls on the ridge of a beech forest. The largest waterfall in the gorge, the water cascades down 108m (354ft). The climb from Ninotaki to Kobei Falls has many steep switchbacks, but is worth the effort!
