l  INTRODUCTION

              Nago city faces the beautiful ocean and a lot of tourists come here to enjoy playing, swimming, diving, watching the ocean and eating fresh fish. However, it is famous for not only the ocean but also land and nature. The waterfall is one of the famous places in the land. In Sukuta, there is a waterfall whose name is “Todoroki Waterfall.” This waterfall streams from the sea of trees of Kushi-mountain. So, that is surrounded by forest. This place is very beautiful. Many people watched it and made many poems and ryu-ka a long time ago. We think that the scene as fantastic as what can appear in animation. Also, this place makes us cool and give us a good feeling because the spray lowers the temperature and makes negative ions. Unfortunately, a lot of tourists don’t know it but we think that is a good place. Children can enjoy exploring, adults can relax and enjoy watching the nature. “Todoroki Waterfall” is the best place and suitable for all ages to visit in Nago. Now, we want to explain more details.

l  ACCESS

"Todoroki Waterfall” is located near the Kyoda Interchange. First, you should go north on road 58. A short time later, you can find the sign of Sukuta, and the Sukuta gymnasium. Next, you should turn right at that corner and go along the river to the waterfall. Then, you arrive at “Todoroki Waterfall”. We recommend to go by car or motorbike because this place is a little far from an urban area. You can use the parking area located near the waterfall.

l  FIXTURE

A thick rope is set up on the way to the waterfall, because it is covered by moss and you have a risk to slip. This rope is robust enough to climb, so you don’t worry about slipping on a rocky place. In addition, there is a small square located in front of the waterfall. You can rest there whenever you want to. If the weather is perfect, we suggest that you take a picnic with your friends in this square. Also, vending machines are not set near the waterfall. We think that you should bring water.

l  DETAIL of WATERFALL

The scenery of the waterfall is very magical. There are two factors. First, stones and trees are weathered by nature. In other words, the scenery was generated by nature. Second, you can see scenery like in animation. Especially, we think that the scenery resembles a scene of “the garden of words.” That is a Japanese animation whose theme is a love story. If you watched this animation, you could watch a love story and splendid scenery. However, you can experience it if you go to “Todoroki Waterfall”. And you will want to go to the waterfall, won’t you?
