Kegon Falls is one of Japan's three most famous waterfalls, where water plunges 97 meters from Lake Chuzenji. An average of 3 tons of water per second cascades into the 4.5-meter deep basin below. An elevator built in 1930 takes visitors 100 meters through solid rock to an observation platform offering stunning close-up views.
Elevator operates during opening hours. Upper viewing platform free. Winter shows smaller frozen waterfalls
October for autumn foliage. January-February for frozen waterfall. Morning for fewer crowds. The elevator offers best views but upper platform is also good.

Absolutely! The free upper platform is distant with limited views. The elevator takes you to waterfall base level where you can feel the mist and hear the thunder. The journey through rock itself is exciting. Highly recommended.
