Senpiro-no-taki falls between granite slabs on the south-east side of the island. The viewpoint has a car park for three coaches and ten cars, and toilets.
- Getting there
- Taxi about 50 min from the quay, about ¥11,600, our estimate; 50 min on foot from the nearest bus stop

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.
- 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.
Senpiro-no-taki waterfall and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
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.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 50 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
