The Kawamata River Valley has several waterfalls, but Doryu Falls are considered the most beautiful. Multiple strands of water fall over mossy rocks and other lush greenery in an area about 15 meters wide and 10 meters high, creating a naturally beautiful scene that reminds one of an old Japanese painting or garden. Most likely it is the other way around, and the natural waterfall inspired the painters and garden makers! The name, Doryutaki, means "Waterfall breathed out by a dragon". The walking trail to the falls passes through forest, under a tall rail bridge, and over a narrow foot bridge, and is a fairly easy walk.
