Oko no Taki Waterfall
大子の滝Kagoshima · Kyushu
Oko no Taki drops 88 metres as a double fall onto rock on Yakushima, and it stands close enough to the road that the viewpoint is a short walk from the car park rather than a hike. Viewing is free and there is no gate. Reaching the island means a ferry or flight from Kagoshima, then a car or bus round the coast.
