Why go

A waterfall dropping between walls of bare granite, seen from a viewpoint with a car park for 3 coaches and 10 cars and toilets. Free. It is close to Toroki-no-taki on the south-east coast, so the two pair on a taxi day.

Before you count on it
  • 3 hr 30 min door to door needs a 5.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
  • It is a view, so it is weather. Check the morning sky before you commit the hours.
Where it is

Senpiro-no-taki waterfall and your ship

Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.

The arithmetic

Where the 3 hr 30 min goes

The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
