This is a great place for an easy walk to see the powerful Naena Falls, located in Myoko, Niigata Prefecture. It is a 55-meter high drop from the basalt cliff and is known as the "Earthquake Waterfall" due to its thunderous cascades. It's a leisurely 400m stroll to reach the falls from the parking area and takes about 15 minutes each way. The walk though the forest and the dam is beautiful in itself.

You can visit in all seasons but be prepared for winter when the longer road (about 2.5km each way) to the falls closes due to snow. If the snow is fresh, you might need to grab some snowshoes (available from the Myoko Visitor Center in Ikenotaira) to be able to walk along the road and to the falls.
