Umegashima-Hikagezawa Waterfront Park "Uo-no-Sato" is a recreational facility where visitors can enjoy fishing for amago trout, catching fish by hand, and other outdoor activities.

The facility features three fishing ponds where you can catch amago raised on-site, as well as a catch-and-release pond and a babbling stream.

After your adventure, be sure to grab a bite to eat. The amago you catch yourself tastes like nothing else! Enjoy it grilled over charcoal with salt.

This is a day-trip hot spring facility located in the Umegashima Hot Spring Resort (a collective term for Umegashima Onsen, Nitta Onsen, and Konya Onsen), which has been designated as a National Health Resort.

It is known for its colorless, transparent, and viscous water, and is highly praised for leaving the skin feeling moisturized and smooth after a bath.

The premises also feature the restaurant "Kogane no Sato," where you can enjoy dishes made with local ingredients and natural ingredients.

Akamizu Falls is a massive waterfall with a drop of 50 meters that can be viewed from an observation deck along Prefectural Route 29, the “Abe Kaido,” on the way to Umegashima Onsen.

It is said to have been formed when the Abe River was dammed after the Oya Ridge collapsed during the great earthquake and flood of 1707 (the 4th year of the Hoei era). The waterfall earned its name because, at the time of the collapse, it continued to flow with water that had been stained red. 

During the autumn foliage season, the surrounding trees turn red and yellow, and in mid-November, the area is illuminated, allowing visitors to enjoy the autumn colors and the fantastical sight of the waterfall glowing against the darkness. Parking is available.

Below, we’d like to suggest “Abe’s Great Waterfall” as an option for your itinerary.

As this is a hiking trail, please check the information and prepare in advance, and allow plenty of time for your visit.

This is Abe no Otaki, selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls. Located in the headwaters of the Abe River, it’s a popular hiking destination in the Umegashima area; it takes about an hour to reach the Otaki observation deck from the prefectural road (Umegashima Kaido).

Abe no Otaki boasts a drop of approximately 90 meters and a width of about 4 meters, making it the largest waterfall in the Abe Okucho area. If you go close to the pool at the base of the falls, you can feel the spray on your body and truly appreciate the waterfall’s grandeur.
