Akechidaira Observation Area
The Akechidaira Ropeway offers one of the best panoramic views of Nikko’s breathtaking landscapes. Located near the Irohazaka winding road, this short but scenic ride takes visitors to the Akechidaira Observation Deck, where you can enjoy stunning views of Kegon Falls, Lake Chuzenji, and the surrounding mountains. The scenery changes beautifully with the seasons, from lush greenery in summer to fiery autumn foliage and a serene winter landscape. This is a must-visit spot for nature lovers and photographers looking for a spectacular view of Nikko’s natural wonders.
Kegon Falls
Kegon Falls is one of Japan’s most spectacular waterfalls, plunging 97 meters down a rugged cliffside from Lake Chuzenji. As one of the country's Three Great Waterfalls, it offers breathtaking views in all seasons—lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, and a frozen cascade in winter. Visitors can admire the falls from an upper viewing platform or take an elevator down to the base for a closer look at its powerful flow. A must-visit natural wonder in Nikko!
