[Hyogo Prefecture] A hidden waterfall in the mountains of Hyogo! "Shiwagara Falls"

Shiwagara Falls is a hidden waterfall hidden deep in the mountains of Shinonsen Town, located on the border with Tottori Prefecture in the northwest of Hyogo Prefecture. It is located in the Komatagawa Valley, about 30 to 40 minutes on foot from the entrance to a parking lot that can accommodate about 5 cars. However, the mountain trail has many ups and downs, and the second half is mostly a steep downhill mountain path. There are also slippery muddy slopes with ropes, so be careful and don't climb lightly. At the end, you will come out into a valley with a clear stream, but the footing is rough with boulders, so you should at least walk 30 to 40 minutes. Trekking shoes or boots are best When you reach the end of the valley, you will enter a cleft in the rocks and a hidden waterfall will appear before your eyes (it cannot be seen from the outside) Light shines through the hole in the ceiling, making it truly mystical Be careful not to get wet in front of the waterfall basin (especially with your camera) It's scary because there are so few people around Be careful as it is also a bear-infested area However, it is a hidden waterfall with a spectacular view, so I recommend it #tripdomestictravel #hyogoprefecture #spectacularview #waterfall #hiddenplace
