Momotaro Falls is a charming little waterfall located in Shima Onsen. The waterfall gets its name from the Japanese folk tale of Momotarō, where a boy is born from a peach and goes on adventures with animal companions.

It may not be the biggest or most impressive waterfall you'll ever see, but it's definitely worth a visit. The best part? It's just a short 2-minute walk from the Shima Ōhashi Bridge, so you don't have to go on a long hike to enjoy its beauty.
