Located downstream from Okawarakyo Campground in Soo, Kagoshima, Kirihara Falls is a majestic waterfall within the Okawarakyo Gorge, recognized as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Soo. The falls span 40 meters in width and drop 12 meters, creating a stunning cascade. Depending on the light, the spray from the falls can create a beautiful rainbow arch. Visitors can enjoy the refreshing mist and natural beauty of the area. It's conveniently located a 15-minute walk from Osumi-Okawara Station. The best time to visit is on a sunny morning to witness the rainbow effect.
