Yudaki Falls
湯滝
A wide waterfall that spills from Lake Yunoko and plunges down a rock face about 70 meters high. The viewing platform is very close, and the falls are impressive.
Yudaki Falls forms where the water of Lake Yunoko overflows and cascades down a lava wall. It drops about 70 meters and is about 25 meters wide. From the viewing platform, you can feel the mist up close. Along with Kegon Falls and Ryuzu Falls, it is known as one of the Three Famous Falls of Okunikko. Above the falls, a trail circles Lake Yunoko (about 1 hour). Below, it connects to the Yudagawa River and the Senjogahara trail. Admission is free. Take a bus from Tobu Nikko Station for about 1 hour 10 minutes and get off at the 'Yudaki Entrance' stop, then walk about 10 minutes. In winter, the trail is snow-covered, so watch your footing.
