Fodor's Expert Review Jakko Falls

Falling water is one of the special charms of the Nikko National Park area; people going by bus or car from Toshogu to Lake Chuzenji often stop off en route to see these falls, which descend in a series of seven terraced stages, forming a sheet of water about 100 feet high. About 1 km (½ mile) from the shrine precincts, at the Tamozawa bus stop, a narrow road to the right leads to an uphill walk of some 3 km (2 miles) to the falls.
