Yoro Falls, located in Yoro-cho, Yoro-gun, Gifu Prefecture, is a 32-meter-high, 4-meter-wide waterfall belonging to the Kiso River system. Situated within Yoro Park (established by Gifu Prefecture), it's part of the Ibi Sekigahara Yoro Quasi-National Park. It's been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls and, together with Kikusuien Spring, as one of Japan's Top 100 Famous Waters.
This waterfall has been cherished by people for generations, its majestic presence captivating visitors. The 32-meter-high, 4-meter-wide cascade of water powerfully crashing against the rock face is breathtakingly beautiful, offering a refreshing abundance of negative ions.
The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, showcasing stunning seasonal landscapes. Spring brings a vibrant display of cherry blossoms, while autumn paints the mountains with a breathtaking tapestry of autumn leaves. Well-maintained hiking trails invite you to enjoy a leisurely stroll amidst nature.
Beyond Yoro Falls, Yoro Park boasts other attractions, including Yoro Shrine, Kikusuien Spring, and the Yoro Park's 'Yoro Tenmei Hantenchi' (literally, 'Yoro Reversal of Destiny Site'), a modern art installation by Shuzo Arakawa and Madeline Gins offering a unique and surreal experience.
