Traveler highlights
What makes Kegon Falls so appealing is not only its origin as water flowing out of Lake Chūzenji, but also the way the torrent drops straight down along the cliff face, creating a waterfall scene that is rare in the outskirts of Tokyo. Located within Nikko National Park, it was formed by the immense water pressure in Lake Chūzenji and seepage through the lakebed, and that origin gives it more than the feel of a simple scenic spot; it also tells a clear geological story. What is most often mentioned on site is the view of the waterfall falling from above…
