"Ryuzu no taki means "dragon head waterfall" in Japanese. The name comes from the shape of the falls, which resembles the head of a dragon. The waterfall is located on Yukawa River, shortly before the river discharges into Lake Chuzenji.
"Ryuzu no taki means "dragon head waterfall" in Japanese. The name comes from the shape of the falls, which resembles the head of a dragon. The waterfall is located on Yukawa River, shortly before the river discharges into Lake Chuzenji.
Ryuzu
Waterfall is flanked by many trees which turn yellow and red during the autumn
leaf season, adding to the fall's fiery, dragon-like appearance. Probably
because of its shadowy location, Ryuzu Waterfall is one of the first spots in
Nikko to see autumn colors. It is usually best in early October.
The
waterfall is viewed free of charge from a small observation deck in the back of
a rest house that also contains a souvenir shop and a food stand. It is
possible to follow the river upstream for about 300 meters along a walking
trail and enjoy more views of the impressive river as it rushes towards the
lake. Further beyond, the trail continues towards the Senjogahara
Marshlands." In: Japan Guide
