Overview

Nishimi-no-taki Waterfall is located in Kazuno City, Akita Prefecture, at the gateway to Lake Towada. Its easy accessibility makes it a notable example of barrier-free design, even accessible to wheelchair users. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery year-round, from the fresh green of spring and the lush greenery of summer to the vibrant autumn foliage and the snowy winter landscape. This draws many tourists throughout the year. While the waterfall is a short distance from the parking lot, winter access by car can be difficult due to snow accumulation. Be aware of potential icy road conditions as well. Other sightseeing spots, such as the Ooyu Waterfall group, are located nearby, making them ideal destinations for a combined trip. Nishimi-no-taki Waterfall is a recommended sightseeing spot where you can fully enjoy the magnificent natural beauty of Lake Towada. We highly recommend a visit!
