Senga Waterfall
Senga Waterfall is 30 meters high and flows down the smooth rock surface. It is one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls. The name “Senga” came from the name of a female hermit of Chinese myth who ascended to the moon. It is a great name to match this beautiful waterfall. The huge quantity of dropping water has a tremendous power.

Nagatoro Bridge
Nagatoro Bridge is an arched bridge built at the gateway of Shosenkyo in 1925. The view of the bridge is the best around the season of fresh green in early summer and autumn leaves. Be aware of cars since there is no sidewalk on the bridge.

Rock Gate
Two huge rocks lean against each other and form a natural rock gate. The exquisite balance makes this rock tunnel. You can see a slight gap between two rocks which might give you a thrill that it might fall down any minute now.
