Stunning waterfall and peaceful riverbank easily accessible by wooden pathways built into the rocks.

Ryujin-no-Taki Falls is a mystical waterfall located in Nakatsugawa, Gifu. It boasts clear water that drops twelve meters and changes color seven times a day, exhibiting cobalt blue and emerald blue shades among others. The falls are home to the legend of the Dragon God, which tells the story of a white dragon who appeared before the villagers one day and then rose up to the heavens. Worshippers can also pay tribute to the Dragon God at the Ryujin Shrine where they can offer votive plaques to pray for success in various competitions. Visiting Ryujin Waterfalls is an enchanting experience full of beautiful scenery, cultural traditions and even spiritual rituals. There are plenty of activities to enjoy all year round such as trout fishing, outdoor concerts, walking tours and festivals.
