Ryuzu Waterfall (Ryuzu-no-taki [龍頭の滝])

The Ryuzu Waterfall (Ryuzu-no-taki [龍頭の滝]; Ryuzu Falls) didn't overwhelm us with size or volume, but it definitely had charm. During our visit, we saw some purplish wildflowers blooming around the falls so that added quite a bit of color to the scene. So it wasn't surprising to us that all this brought out the Japanese tourists (both husbands and wives) toting big-time

In fact, I even remembered seeing some cascade flanked by these flowers on our Webshots where they composed it to look like some other cascade (and they didn't even bother to mention which falls it was). Well, now we figured out it was from this waterfall for sure!. No wonder why this is one of the more popular waterfalls of the greater Nikko area.

There was a souvenir shop and cafe with a sheltered viewing area by the tables right in between the establishments. This was the primary viewing area of the falls as I didn't think there was any more walking paths to other parts of the waterfall.
