Hiking at Akame 48 Waterfalls in the cool of summer

Grading: 

Join us for a refreshing 6 km round-trip hike along the scenic and dynamic Akame 48 Waterfalls trail, known for its countless falls, deep pools, and rugged rock formations. Though not long in distance, the trail features many small ups and downs, making it a rewarding walk. The negative ions produced by splashing water and the distinctive scent of the forest are known to relax both body and mind. Step away from the stress of the city and immerse yourself in the healing power of nature. We recommend the “Akame 48 Waterfalls Nature Exploration Ticket” sold at major Kintetsu stations. This discounted ticket includes round-trip train fare, local bus fare, and the nature preservation fee — saving you over 500 yen.
