Choshi Falls, located along Route 103 in the upper reaches of the Oyu River in Kazuno, Akita, offers a dynamic natural spectacle. Historically named for its resemblance to a 'choshi' (sake pouring vessel), the falls have been reshaped over time. The 18-meter high and 8-meter wide cascade transforms with varying water levels, presenting a unique view each visit. Visitors can easily access the falls via a short walk from the parking area, though the road may be rough. Nearby, discover the birthplace of Akita's electric power at the Oyu River Choshi Power Plant. It's a perfect spot for a refreshing break and to appreciate the raw beauty of Akita's natural landscape.
