Along the way, I thought this view was nice and went in closer to check it out-
I believe it was a tea house or restaurant of some sort. I would have stopped in for some macha but really wanted to keep driving.
Just down the one lane road was this across the river. You might want to click it to make it bigger so you can actually see it-
On the other side of the road was a nice place to enjoy the view and pray-
It was about lunch time and food options this far out were scarce. We stopped by a conveniently placed tourist spot that had a restaurant and while I can't imagine to many people riding bicycles to this place, it had this sign saying to not forget to lock your bike-
Lunch!
A big mirror ball!
Some rice fields!
We (I) went down the wrong road a few times but eventually we got there. I was quite surprised at how touristy the place is. Lots of inns and crappy places to buy crappy gifts. To make it even more touristy, the ninja history of the place was amped up-
The walking map-
The main trail was to the right but boy did I want to go left-
Want a Ninja Burger?
To make it more touristy, and make you feel as if you are getting something more than waterfalls when paying to get in, you must pass through a "museum" that takes advantage of the local GIANT Japanese Salamander-
They are HUGE! And, GROSS! Below, there are two of them. Can you spot them?
Yuck!
After mumbling yuck a hundred times, we walked through and were greeted by a nice waterfall-
More waterfalls and wet times next!
