Waterfalls & Autumn Colors

Known as one of the best places in Tokushima Prefecture to see the autumn colors, the Kamagatani valley is situated almost right in the middle of the Prefecture. The river running through it, Kamagatanigawa (a tributary of Nakagawa), has its source at Mt. Kumosa.

The highlight is this magnificent collaboration of waterfall and autumn colors. While the Oogama-no-Taki falls can be found a bit downstream, the Otodoro-no-Taki falls are even further down.
