Toroki Falls
トローキの滝
One of the rare waterfalls in Japan that fall directly into the sea. Set against the mountains of southern Yakushima, the viewpoint is a few minutes' walk from a bridge.
Toroki Falls lies at the mouth of the Tai River in southern Yakushima. The waterfall drops from a cliff straight into the sea, making it one of the few "sea-entering waterfalls" in Japan. On clear days, you can see Mount Mocchomu in the distance as a backdrop. From the Taino-gawa Bridge beside the prefectural road, a narrow path leads about 5 minutes on foot to the viewpoint. The road is narrow and there are few parking spaces. Entry is free. You can plan a half-day tour of the south together with Senpiro Falls and Onoaida Onsen. On rainy days the path is slippery, so stay away from the cliff edge.
