Yukiwa Falls is a waterfall in the smoothing valley of the EhimeZZ106X River. The the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan and Shikoku Eight-Gree 47 are chosen.
Overview
It's more than a parking lot in the slide valley. The walkway is about 1,200 meters upstream. It's in the stream that flows into the Black River in the 40000 River. It's the Nile Falls that flows through the slope of a single rock made of granite, which runs through a length of 300 meters and 20 meters wide. The area that you see above the playwalk is about 80 meters. This name came from the fact that the falling spray looks like a ring of snow. However, if there's too much water, you can't see the snow ring. Because of the low slope, it is possible to slide and play over the falls.
Access
It's about 25 minutes by car from JR Lanternary Matsuki Station. Get off the tourist parking lot. Matsuyama's car road is from IC north to 197 national roads and 381 national roads in about 90 minutes. There's a free parking lot.
