Todoroki Falls: A Roaring Cascade in Tokushima
Experience the thunderous beauty of Todoroki Falls, one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls, nestled in the serene mountains of Tokushima.
Todoroki Falls, also known as Karei Falls, is the largest waterfall in Shikoku, Japan, cascading powerfully into a basin surrounded by lush greenery. The name 'Todoroki' translates to 'roaring,' aptly describing the thunderous sound of the water as it plunges 58 meters. The falls are part of a series of waterfalls known as the '99 Todoroki Waterfalls,' and the site includes the serene Todoroki Shrine and Ryuou-ji Temple.
