Shimojo Waterfall sits just north of Oguni town, a short drive from the idyll of Kurokawa Onsen. A path leads down to a viewing platform just over the main waterfall, but sadly not much can be seen due to tree cover. A short walk down the trail, however, leads to a smaller set of cascades and a series of whirlpools in the river. There is a free parking area at the top of the ravine - the waterfalls can be reached in about ten minutes from the parking lot.

It looks beautiful!
Cathy, there are so many unsung waterfalls around Kurokawa Onsen. If you have a car, this is a great area to explore with your own wheels.
