Enjoy the cool scenery of a waterfall that represents Hinohara Village
About this spot
Hossawa Falls (払沢の滝) is a leading beauty spot of Hinohara Village, chosen as one of Japan's 100 finest waterfalls. The walking path is well maintained, and a round-trip stroll of about 30 minutes brings you close to the basin. Even in summer it is cool around the falls, and you can enjoy forest bathing while soaking up plenty of negative ions. It makes a pleasant morning moment of natural coolness before moving on to Kanotoiwa Rock.
Season & hours
Name: 神戸岩(かのといわ)・神戸川
Date & time: 常時開放(ロッヂ神戸岩キャンプ場経由での利用が案内されている)
Venue: 檜原村神戸・神戸川
神戸岩(かのといわ)は、檜原村神戸にある高さ100メートルを超える切り立った岩壁が両側にそびえる渓谷です。その間を流れる神戸川は澄み切った清流で、夏には浅瀬で水遊びを楽しむ家族連れが訪れます。ロッヂ神戸岩キャンプ場を経由して訪れるのが一般的で、遊歩道は通年で利用できます。切り立った岩壁に囲まれた独特の景観は、他の渓谷ではなかなか味わえない迫力があります。
Tips
水はひんやりと冷たいため、日差しのある暖かい時間帯に遊ぶのがおすすめです。岩場は滑りやすい場所もあるため、濡れても滑りにくい靴を用意しておくと安心です。山あいで日が陰るのも早いため、時間に余裕を持って計画しましょう。
Tips
You walk the path from the car park to the falls, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Boardwalks and rocky sections can be slippery after rain, so watch your footing. It is chilly around the falls even in summer, so something to put on is reassuring.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour. The cool morning hours are easiest for walking and recommended.
