[2025 Isa Attraction] Travel Guide for Sogi Falls (Updated Apr)

The scene before me was like a crack in the earth, which seemed to have been formed over a long period of history, and the amount of water was astonishing. Sogi Falls Park is located in Isa City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. It is 210 meters wide and 12 meters high. It is so large and magnificent that it is known as the "Niagua of the East" waterfall and was selected as the 24th of the 100 Scenic Spots of the Heisei Era. Although Sogi Falls is not very high, its width of 210 meters and the surrounding scenery make it a truly magnificent sight. It is a rare and spacious waterfall. It is like a huge staircase with flood water gushing out continuously, which is very spectacular. There are other things to see, including an exhibit of a sluice facility that was once used to divert water for power generation and mushroom cultivation. 📍Address: 628-41 Oguchi-miyato, Isa City, Kagoshima Prefecture #Fall #100 Ways to Travel

The water was murky because it was the day after it rained, but the volume was high and it was very impressive!! I love waterfalls and have seen famous waterfalls all over Japan, but this is the first time I've seen one of this size. There is an observation deck so you can go right up to it and take photos. The water spray is amazing. A must-visit when sightseeing in Kagoshima There is also a restaurant nearby where you can eat tonkatsu champon (featured on the Secret Kenmin Show), which is very satisfying It was a weekday, but there were groups and locals visiting, so it seemed like a popular spot in the area #SogiPark #SogiWaterfalls #Kagoshima #IsaCity
