Ryuzu Waterfall or Ryuzu Falls in Nikko Japan
About
Ryuzu Waterfall or Ryuzu Falls is on the Yukawa River shortly before it enters into Lake Chuzenji. "Ryuzu" means "dragon head", the waterfall resembles the head of a dragon (well, the person who named it thought so). There are a couple parking lots (if you are driving) you can stop in to see the waterfall, all marked very clearly. Once you get to the waterfall there is a small observation deck from where you can get a great view. Of course there are souvenir shops and trinkets for sale. This spot, like everywhere in Nikko, gets pretty crowded during the Autumn leave changing time so expect crowds if you come at that time.
Ryuzu Waterfall is in the Nikko Area of Japan. See our Nikko Area page for a complete guide.
