What kind of place is Akame 48 Waterfalls?

See the Akame Forty-Eight Waterfalls website


Akame 48 Fall , located in the center of Muro Akame Aoyama Quasi-National Park in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, is a scenic spot where waterfalls of various sizes flow in a valley that stretches for about 4 km. There are 23 waterfalls in the valley, including the famous ones, with pools at the bottom. The beauty of the waterfalls flowing in the valley led to it being selected as one of the "100 Best Waterfalls in Japan."

A promenade is provided along the approximately 3.3km circular path connecting each waterfall, where you can enjoy hiking and forest bathing while admiring the beautiful falls. It takes about three hours round trip to visit all the waterfalls. Among the many waterfalls, Fudotaki, Senjutaki, Nunobikitaki, Nitantaki, and Biwataki are known as the Akame Five Waterfalls and are the largest in scale. We recommend taking a walk around these five famous waterfalls.

The autumn foliage season is even more special! Hike through the colorful valley

In autumn, Akame 48 Falls is even more special, as the Japanese maples, maples, and wild cherry trees paint the valley red. From the trekking course to Mount Nagasaka, you can get a panoramic view of the valley and mountains colored with autumn leaves.
