Waterfalls of Japan – Akiu Otaki

January 11, 2023
We are having a great summer holiday in wintery Japan and one of the first photo stops we enjoyed was a day trip to the beautiful Akiu Otaki (falls) in Miyagi Prefecture, Northern Japan.

After following a very narrow and windy road, we found the small shrine from which a short trail leads down to the waterfall. As with many waterfalls, it is not just the falls themselves but the location...Read More
