Akame 48 Waterfalls

Beautiful hike! Round trip can take about 3-4 hours for beginners (including picture-taking). Intermediate hikers will probably take less than 3 hours.

PS: Do take note of the bus schedule at the bus stop. We missed the last bus! But it was a scenic 5km walk back to the train station (an attraction in itself if you ask me ;)

I enjoyed the nature a lot. Went there in October 2023, weather was perfect. Side note to not wear bottoms that are too long as it does make the pants dirty.

It is a good place for trekking for family, friends, and couples.
If you want to finish the trekking within a day, you should bring/buy bento, water and wear hiking shoes.
Bento only available at the entrance of the waterfall.
We should pay attention to the last bus time which leaves from the waterfall for those who come with public transportation and don't want to spend time at night there.

This is a great place to walk without experience hiking. The waterfalls are wonderful and the staff is nice. You can come along with your dog.
Recently a part of the path is closed. I was a little sad I could not continue. But I’ll come again to do the full walk.

I love to go there both in summer and autumn. If you love to see greenery and more water, I recommend summer🍃There 3 different hiking trails based on the difficulty.
Especially don’t forget to stay for the illumination event in late October to November. There is good public transportation too.
You can easily access from Osaka and Nagoya too. 😊

This is a perfect place to spend with a loved one. You get picturesque walking trails weaving through the waterfalls. You can easily spend a full day here just communing with nature, either alone or with your date.

Awesome place with very nice staff. Be careful if you go there by bus, last one on weekends is 16h45 ( so before Akame close ).

A beautiful simple hike in the nature. It's a lovely place and can be completed in 5-6 hours at a normal pace while enjoying the view.

The magnitude of the beauty of this place is only rivaled by the magnitude of the workout you'll get walking through it! Akame 48 Waterfalls was one thing I'll never forget about my visit to Japan. My assumption was that with 48 waterfalls they can't all be gorgeous but I was wrong! Every waterfall was as sparkling and impressive as the last. The hike through the falls was exhaustingly steep and a bit treacherous. It is definitely a doable hike if your up for it. There were plenty of elderly Japanese visitors who were trekking through it, but Japan's citizens stay much more active than those I know in the States. The steep and plush green mountains are so dense you won't see a speck of jungle floor, just green as far as you can see. The hike starts with a walkthrough of a salamander exhibit, which was very cool to see such big an ancient reptiles. There's also pretty of bathrooms along the hike. If you're in Mie and up for a hike, go here. If you've come to Japan just to be in Tokyo and want to experience the nature Japan can offer, go here!

Like all Nabari Province, very beautiful, unknown and worthy to discover land. Extremely nice and friendly people. Amazing and very tasty Matsusaka gyu meat. I wish I came back some day. The hiking all around the waterfalls of Akame are incredible and worthy to do it repeatedly in time. At the end of the trail there is a place where you can taste a delicious ice with flavourish liquid on top.

Best place for hikers 🥾, walkers 🚶🏼‍♂, nature lovers 🥰or just want to go out with family👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 peoples . Bring cash only 💰.The view and the nature is like blessing for any one . The entry fee 🏞is ¥500 for adult and ¥300 for kids with a little zoo of rare mammals found in the falls . The 🚗 parking is ¥800 . Do try to park your car as near to the souvenir shops don’t try to park in the entrance parking you will thank me later for this😂. The toilet 🚽 is available but be aware toilets 🚽 are only in entrance and when you go up to falls there are no toilets 🚽 . Food 🍱 Stalls and drinks 🥤 are available in one stop of your walking towards falls . There are no much stalls or shops 🏬. Souvenir shops are available in entrance of the falls . Do try grilled MOCHI so tasty and warm and the matcha 🍵 and vanilla ice cream 🍦 is also recommended. There are total of 48 falls so that does not mean the falls are side by side they are in walking and climbing distances 😂 you have to walk the mountains 🏔 to see the falls 💧. It is a bit hard walking 🚶‍♀ for beginners. Bring your own water 💧 because the shop prices are double because it is in mountains . Sitting 🪑 places are available in gaps . Falls are clean 🧼 and beautiful. You will not regret your hard work 😓 of hiking when you see the views . Wear comfortable clothes 👚 and shoes 👟 . Be aware their is a time limit to go to the last fall and time is 16:00 April to September , I would suggest you to go by 15:00 on summer because of crowd and 14:00 October to March after 17:00 no emergency 🆘 services are available and there is no lights 💡 so come back before it gets dark . No Mobile connection in the falls so be careful to go on time and come back on time . Holidays may be crowded but worth visiting . Do go with family and friends with lots of onigiri 🍙 and enjoy your walking 🚶‍♀ climbing 🧗‍♀ . There is a onsen also in the entrance of ticket 🎫 counter .

If you are a yogi, healer, therapist or simply nature lover. This place will connect you the the elements of EARTH. WATER. SPACE and WIND. Is take 1.5 hr from Osaka. By train and bus and from start point to finish about 2 hr
Highly recommended for outdoor activities and meditation.

This place can be visited all throughout the year. Waterfalls are very scenic and the light up during autumn is specially good.

Excellent! So peaceful and well looked after. Easily doable as a day trip from Osaka. There's also a decent hiking trail along the hilltop.

Nice place for a hiking.
Took us about 3 to 4 hours to go back and forth, but we were taking our time to appreciate the view and take a lot of photos.

Has there ever been a more mysterious place. I don't think so, I don't think so. A blend of elven forest and kamigawa this is a place of great mysticism. Felt like such a ninja walking around. Also don't miss the exquisite salamander displays at the beginning some of them are soooooo big like really fat lizards

A 2-3hr (but we took it for 4hrs) hike uphill, but every step is worth its breathtaking view with its different waterfall formation. However this trip is not for those who are not for a long walk with their knees failing them.

It costs 500yen to enter, the trail isn’t too hard and it only take two hours or so to fully enjoy the beauty of nature at this place.

Gorgeous scenery and an easy to moderate hike made this the perfect day trip! Starting with the salamander center, the wildlife was abundant as well. There are tea houses along the trail but we opted to buy a bento from one of the local shops before entering the park. It was nice that we could then stop anywhere along the trail to eat lunch. The locals were very friendly!

This well-maintained scenic trekking trail is a very refreshing getaway from Nagoya or Osaka, a train ride of around an hour from both places. I indulged myself for a 3-hour walk. Missed the red leaves season when I visited but still sights to behold. The small salamanders aquarium at the entrance are a nice touch. Light trekking gear recommended.
