If you enjoy nature hikes and beautiful cascades of water then I highly reccomend adding a visit to Ryuuku Falls. Most pictures do not actually do it justice as it is much taller than it appears on film. The hike through the thick Japanese forest is also quite breathtaking and not overly difficult.

Decided to take a detour here today as it was too foggy to see the Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji, Kammangafuchi Gorge is a good place to relax and enjoy nature. Kammangafuchi Gorge is about a 20mins walk from the shrines and while enjoying the walk by the river, you’ll definitely see the main highlight of the area which are the rows of Jizo statues that are line up on one side of the gorge. Worth visiting the area after visiting the shrines.

We visited here in Winter and the ice and snow made it more spectacular. We also took the short circular track to Kotaki Falls which was absolutely beautiful and easy to negotiate with just hiking boots and poles. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do the Sejogahara Moor trail from here because it was closed due to damage to the track further along.
4. Mashiko Pottery Festival
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
Held every spring during Golden Week since 1966, this ceramics market takes place in Mashiko, renowned as the home of Japanese earthenware pottery. During the fair, about 50 pottery shops and 500 tents sell traditional Mashiko ware, everyday necessities such as cups and plates, and pure works of art. Shoppers can chat with potters and ceramics artists as they browse. The market attracts pottery collectors from across Japan-and even bus tours from Tokyo.

We traveled by train from Toyko to Mashiko for the Festival. Such an awesome start to our first visit to Japan! From the train station, it's not quite a short walk to the town centre but wow! If you are interested in Ceramics and you are in Japan, this is a must see. Pottery vendors back to back to back. So much to look at - it can be overwhelming! At the other end of town is the Shoji Hamada Memorial - again, if you are interested in Ceramics, another must see (entry fee). The negative??? This was the first stop of our Japan trip. With one carry-on, it was difficult to decide on what to take with us! The two Mashiko pieces we brought home have been used almost daily!!! Note - this is a full day trip. (a long day) and it got cool after 5 pm (waiting for transport). Dress accordingly,

We took a train to get there and spent around ten minutes from Kinugawa Park station. Because a typhoon will land tomorrow, just a few tourists visited this scenery. Amazing waterfall and valley were attractive to our sight. We got around everywhere for about ninety minutes. Though many maple leaves haven’t changed color, I deeply recommend the Ryuokyo Canyon in Kinugawa.

There's two main things I want to say about Ryuzu Falls. First of all, it's very beautiful with red leaves and definitely one of the best things in Nikko if you're coming in autumn season. The second thing is unfortunately I had seen the photos online of it's peak colors, and set my expectations very high and even though it was very beautiful it wasn't as beautiful as some of the photos posted by others. To get the peak colors, you have to time your trip in a very short window between October 18th-24th. We came here on October 6th, when the autumn was on it's way but not peak. There are many stairs from the observation deck next to the coffee shop at stop 37, from where if you keep climbing you will keep getting ever-better views. At the top of the trail you will reach the bus stop 38, and you can see the fall on both sides in between foliage trickling down. Cross the road, to enjoy a thorough view of the falls.
