Overview
It's in "Akishima Valley" at night above the river. There is about 100 meters of error selected for one of the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan. Chagama Falls is said to be one of the three major falls in a mass waterfall. The waterfall is located about five and a half miles from the parking space near the chartposts at the Night Island Valley entrance on the forest road. There is also a route of about three kilometers and an altitude of 600 meters, across a mountain that runs north from a swamp called the Great Valley, next to Road 341. On September 24, 2020, a woman who was headed for the waterfall was injured in the head by falling rocks. It's going to take five hours from the call to the rescue team to find a woman.
