Shindo Falls, located in Kokonoe, Oita Prefecture, features two stunning waterfalls: the 93-meter high Meshitaki (female waterfall) and the 83-meter high Otaki (male waterfall). Meshitaki is known for its beauty, especially during the fresh green and autumn foliage seasons. Otaki is powerful, sometimes shaking the surrounding area with its volume. Both falls can be viewed from observation points and the Kokonoe Yume Grand Suspension Bridge. According to legend, the area around the falls has hot springs and a limestone cave. Visit during the day to fully appreciate the scenic views from the bridge and observation points.
