Kegon Falls is one of Japan's most famous waterfalls, located in Nikkō National Park in Tochigi Prefecture. The waterfall is approximately 97 meters (318 feet) tall and is fed by the waters of Lake Chūzenji, which was formed by the ancient eruption of Mount Nantai. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the falls from multiple vantage points, including an observation deck accessible via an elevator. The area is particularly popular in autumn when the surrounding foliage turns vibrant shades of red and yellow, creating a stunning natural backdrop.
