2. Experience the beautiful scenery of “Akame 48 Waterfalls” [13 Sep 2024]
The weather is getting hotter! In the lastest month, we introduced some cool sightseeing spots that are easy to access via the Kintetsu Line.
“Akame 48 Waterfalls” or “Akame Shijuhachi Falls” is known as the location of the “Iga Ninja Training Grounds”.
This place is in a deep forest with a stream flowing all the time, making the atmosphere quite shady and mysterious. There are also nature trails where you can enjoy the scenery that changes each season.
In addition, there are 23 famous waterfalls out of the 48 such as Senjudaki and Ninaidaki. It is perfect for those who want to relax their minds with the negative ions released from the waterfalls.
Moreover, from November onwards, it is the season for viewing the changing leaves, so we recommend that everyone come and experience the beautiful scenery of the waterfalls and the changing leaves.
