We visited Ogawa Waterfall of Minamiosumi Town. The beautiful scenery of the waterfall is breathtaking! Please visit the place if you have never been there.

Walking Along Ogawa River
We turned left to mountain side at the crossroad of Kinkocho City Hall. Then it took about 5 minutes to arrive at the free parking lot of Ogawa Waterfall..
We walked about 1,200m until we reached the waterfall. It was a good mercerize to walk in forests. Please wear trekking wears and shoes when you visit the place. Some places of the road can be muddy.
You can put your legs into water at some places of the river. But it is prohibited to swim.
Hash flow of Ogawa River.
Nature of the river is untouched by human. The air is full of relaxing atmosphere.
The fresh water is springing up at many places along the river. The water is very cold!
Water of the Ogawa River is very transparent. Sands are flowing at the bottom of the river.
Ogawa Waterfall – Beautiful Place –
We finally arrived at the waterfall. The height of the waterfall is 46m and width is 60m.
- Be noted that it is prohibited to swim at this place.
Above picture is taken by wife. She is a good photographer.
Unfortunately it was prohibited to walk onto the beach at our back for safety reason.
（Following picture was taken from the sky. What a wonderful scenery!）
Diary
I am trying to push her into the river by joke.
There are some places where you can put your legs in water along the road to the waterfall.
We felt as if we returned to our childhood. We really really love the nature of Osumi Area of Kagoshima Prefecture. Splendid!
I am from Ibusuki City, though. I remember that I enjoyed catching fishes and shrimps and chasing birds at the river of my hometown.
If I discover other wonderful nature in Kagoshima, I introduce it to you at this blog.
Waterfall Video
I took the video of the waterfall. I hope you will enjoy and watch the movie and grasp the dream-like atmosphere of the place.
I have never imagined such a beautiful place existed in this world.
