Kegon Falls is one of Japan's most famous waterfalls, located near Lake Chuzenji in Nikko National Park, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It's considered one of the three most beautiful waterfalls in Japan, alongside Nachi Falls in Wakayama Prefecture and Fukuroda Falls in Ibaraki Prefecture. The waterfall plunges approximately 97 meters (318 feet) down a rocky cliff formed by the eruption of Mount Nantai, which also created Lake Chuzenji. The water cascades into a deep pool at the base, creating a mesmerizing and powerful spectacle. Kegon Falls is particularly stunning during the autumn months when the surrounding foliage turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, providing a striking contrast to the white veil of the waterfall. Visitors can enjoy various viewpoints of Kegon Falls, including an observation deck located near the base of the waterfall, accessible by an elevator. Additionally, boat cruises on Lake Chuzenji offer breathtaking views of the waterfall from below.
