Abe Great Falls - Shizuoka

An intermediate climber who was hit by a car and is currently training in the mountains at Otaki to rehabilitate his injuries. Recently, the number of people who come to Otaki has increased, and many people come in light clothing (short sleeves, shorts, sandals). The ground around Umegashima, including the road from the city, is fragile, so rockfalls and landslides often occur. The Otaki route is also ❗️ It's the same everywhere, but since it's a mountain road, I recommend trekking shoes, but shoes are easy to walk sneakers ? (It is dangerous for shoes and sandals without grooves on the sole) There are ticks and leeches, so wear clothes that don't expose your skin. It is safer to walk using handrails such as stairs, so if you have a non-slip work gloves, you can prevent falls and corona infection. I sweat when I'm walking, but the temperature around the waterfall is low, so it's best to wear clothes that allow you to easily control your body temperature, such as a hoodie or rainwear. Don't forget to wipe your sweat and water ❗️ Mountain trash is basically taken out! ️No trash can Even if the distance is short, you may walk in the mountains, so if you are not careful, you may get injured such as falling rocks, slipping, or falling. Because there are some benches on the way considering the physical strength on the way back Let's hydrate and take a break (Some benches are difficult to sit on, but ?…) In the unlikely event that you get stuck due to injury or poor physical condition, you will be asked to come to the fire department, police, and mountain rescue team. Mountain rescue is charged depending on the area! ️Caution ❗️ It is difficult for radio waves to reach mountains other than docomo, including the Otaki route. There is a large free municipal parking lot if you go to the far end along the Abe River after passing Otaki, although it is a little distance. There are some difficulties, but if you walk without hesitation, you can see Otaki close enough to get soaked depending on the wind direction ❣️ In the coming season, if you stop and take a closer look, various flowers are in bloom. In winter, bridges and other areas are frozen, and waterfalls are also frozen. Enjoy the stunning, almost untouched scenery * Never bring back wild plants ❗️ I took pictures of the route to Otaki in order Walk slowly for about 30 to 40 minutes one way (depending on the individual) ☆ There is also an official website for Umegashima Onsen, so it is recommended to check the temperature and road conditions there. ⚠️ This year, leeches are frequently damaged. Be especially careful in damp areas I don't have any pain or itching so I don't notice if I'm bitten There is no poison, but please note that bleeding will not stop if bitten. Adhesive plaster is an essential item. ⚠️ Some ticks carry dangerous viruses It ’s called a tick-borne infection. Even if the tick is bitten, it is not noticed and it is not possible to determine whether it carries the virus If you develop "Japanese spotted fever" such as fever as the initial symptom, the fatality rate is high and many people die every year unless they are treated at a medical institution as soon as possible. Bear sightings in nearby hot spring towns and Otaki Please note that it is out ? I added a photo because the entrance to Otaki from Route 29 is difficult to understand and I am often asked the way. ‼ ️ Nature is a beautiful and comfortable place There is a risk to that extent, so at least knowledge about nature and measures to avoid risk should be taken. Garbage such as candy bags and masks is increasing You will notice that the mask is gone even if you accidentally drop it in your pocket etc. Not only the risk of corona infection and environmental destruction, but also animals, insects, and dangerous wildlife that prey on them come with a faint odor, which is extremely dangerous. Thanks to the care and maintenance of the people of Umegashima and many others, you can see the rich nature and powerful waterfalls. Please cooperate with the rules and manners to protect the wonderful Otaki and nature.

Not go by car, about 30 minutes walking the steep road. Waterfall with a powerful you can see. I was looking at about an hour. Since the restroom is not, parked in the parking lot, it is better that has been finished.

It is a beautiful waterfall with a head of 80m. You can walk to near the basin, but by then you have to walk 1.2km of rugged roads. It may be a little tough for those who lack exercise. Cross three suspension bridges. The second one is narrow and shakes well, so please be careful when crossing. There is a risk of freezing in winter. Let's go in the warmer months!

It is a waterfall that can only be reached by walking in the mountains for about 30 minutes on foot from the suspension bridge at the entrance of Abe Otaki. You can't go by car. It's worth the effort! We recommend autumn (weekdays). The amount of water increases and it is worth seeing during the summer when there is a lot of rainfall, but I don't want to go because there are a lot of Yamabils and I don't like being stuck. Hiking during the fall foliage is wonderful. If it becomes too popular, it will be a narrow road, so it will be crowded and dangerous. .. .. There is a lot of traffic on Saturdays and Sundays, and traffic jams occur at the second suspension bridge, which can only be crossed by one person at a time. There are no toilets around the waterfall, so use the public toilets on the Yunohana site before crossing the first suspension bridge.

As the name suggests, it is a big and wonderful waterfall. There is a little distance to the waterfall, so be sure to wear shoes. It depends on your physical strength, but please take an hour and a half for a round trip. There was quite a bit of snow in the forest, and some of it was frozen. It was a cold time in February, so it was a little like an icicle and it was beautiful. Suspension bridge There are three, and the second one is quite shaking and fun!
