Our visit to Kegon Falls in Nikko, Japan during the winter season left us utterly amazed and in awe of the magnificent beauty that nature has to offer. As we approached the falls, we were immediately captivated by its sheer grandeur and the powerful rush of water cascading down from a height of 97 meters. What made the experience even more special was how well the area had been developed and made accessible to tourists. Pathways and viewing decks were thoughtfully constructed to allow visitors to fully appreciate the mesmerizing sight of the waterfall. We were able to get up close to the falls as we marveled at the awe-inspiring force of nature right before us. It was also our first encounter with snow and snowfall. The trees were adorned with delicate blankets of snow, transforming the entire landscape into a breathtaking scene straight out of a storybook. In the midst of this picturesque setting, we couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the beautiful creation of God. The harmonious combination of the roaring waterfall, the peaceful snow-covered surroundings, and the ethereal snowfall filled our hearts with a profound appreciation for the wonders of the natural world. Our visit to Kegon Falls will forever hold a special place in our memories, serving as a reminder of the stunning beauty that can be found in even the harshest of winter landscapes. It was a humbling experience that left us with a renewed sense of wonder and gratitude for the incredible creations of God that exist in our world.

A very beautiful waterfall. You go down an elevator to a viewing platform down the cliffs, to see the entirety of the falls. There are some food vendors outside as well as on the viewing platform during season (visited in winter and they were closed).

Beautiful even in the winter time. Very quiet with little to no one there. I was easily able to incorporate this into a day trip from Tokyo using the Tobu buses. Highly recommend to see!!

Super nice, but was snowing today. Made a snowball! Watched water flowing strongly over the cliff edge. Got strawberry ice cream. Lake is nice view. Big and peaceful. Very winding roads up and down - drive carefully!

It costs ¥570 to take the elevator down to the falls. The three levels on the observation deck was plenty of space but the bottom one had the best view. The rock formations were breathtaking and the waterfall looked surreal
