About Todoroki Falls
Todoroki Falls (todoroki-no-taki [轟の滝]; “Roaring Falls”) was one of the more impressive waterfalls that we’ve seen on Okinawa Island.
It’s also one of the easiest waterfalls to visit as it was just a short detour from the well-traveled route between the cities of Naha and Nago near Nago City.
The waterfall is the centerpiece of the Todoroki Waterfall Park, which was a family-friendly and tranquil space featuring a large lawn area, viewing pavilions, and short trails to appreciate the flora.
We paid a modest fee of 200 yen per adult and 100 yen for our daughter.
Beyond the ticket machine window and welcome signs, we then walked around a large lawn area, where we opted to take the path on the side closer to the stream (going past a channel with a small arched bridge).
On the far side of the lawn area, we then crossed a bridge, where we got our first look at the Todoroki Falls.
From the first viewing pavilion, it was possible to view the falls from some boulders just in front of the pavilion.
Boardwalks routed us up towards nearest pavilion with steps leading up to the closest view from near the base of the waterfall.
To round out our visit, we also took a side path that went into a small loop path that went by a “Forest Bathing” section, where we could appreciate the flora in the area, and then going past some overflow ponds or something.
Towards the end of this loop, I was able to get some nice contextual views of the Todoroki Falls with the pavilions in the foreground for a sense of scale.
On the way out, I then went down to an unbridged crossing of the Todoroki Stream to the other side, where there was another pavilion and some tables adjacent to the far end of the lawn area.
Finally, we just finished going around the left side of the lawn to round out our brief visit, which only took about 40 leisurely minutes.
The fact that this was one of the easiest waterfalls to visit without the need to river scramble or sweat it out on a longer hike was much appreciated, especially since we visited this place on the surprisingly long drive to Sesoko from Naha.
