Arare Fall - Yamagata

ちょうど紅葉だったので良かったです。 滝に行く迄の道も近すぎず遠すぎず、良かったです。

駅から近いので登山の帰りに ふらりと見れる滝です。

昨夜の雨のせいか霰滝までの道はぬかるんでいました!

面白山高原駅から歩いてすぐ！ 10月上旬、紅葉はまだまだでした。

歩いて5分、ゆっくり歩いても10分かからないのに冒険感満載！ 木の橋が怖い。 滝を間近に見れて、超いやされる！

お手軽に行ける滝ですね 紅葉川渓谷の方じゃなく 駅から行けます 帰りは駅でゆっくりかけて寛げました。 気の橋も真ん中渡れば大丈夫だろし、倒木もくぐりやすくしてくれてました。

面白山高原駅のホームを右に進むと遊歩道の入り口があります。「霰滝」の立て看板の方に歩いていくと少し険しい道ですが、10分ほどで滝に着きます。巨大な1枚岩を滝が流れているのを間近で見れます。なかなか壮大です！

Omoshiroyama tracking Saturday, October 17th,2020 it was my first time to have a chance to visit here. I would say it was breathtaking. Here I will share my experience for those who would like to visit. There are two main spot for the starting this trial. The easiest one would be just next to the station (Omoshiroyama-Kogen station). You can come here by train from Sendai. I arrived at around 8:30 and parked my car near the station. There is a bathroom and some wending machines if you like to use it. The trial goes in two directions at the station. One side is short but worth to go there. There is a waterfall and a space (just space) where you can enjoy cooking ‘nabe’. It was hard to find the trial head of the other direction since the map wasn’t clear. Just go back to the station and move up from the stairs and cross the bridge. You will see a small entrance on your left. Walk down from the narrow path. You will reach the river in 2-3 minutes. Then just follow the path until the end. The whole trial was very narrow and slippery. Make sure that your shoes are suitable for this. The scenery is spectacular. Have a good camera with you. Don’t drop it though. Watch your steps. I mean it. Specially after a rainy day. There are many wooden bridges where you will cross the river a lot. This will give you chance to take very good pictures. The fall colors wasn’t on the peak but I think after a week it will be better. At the end of the the path you will see the parking lot for the other hand. You can either return from the river path or just follow the car road which will take about 20 min. to get back to the station. There is also a Cosmos flower ? field nearby. The peak season is early October or end of September. It is for free. You can take some beautiful photos. If you would like to push yourself more than you can go to Yamadera which takes 10 mins by train and 20 min by car. Alternatively you can hike up to the Omoshiroyama Overall it was an amazing experience. I post lots of videos and photos. If you think this comment is helpful than don’t forget to click on thumbs up ?
