AKAME SHIJUHACHITAKI WATERFALLS
Isnin, 9 September 2013 • 6:18 PG • 0 comments   The Akame valley area, which is surrounded by native forest includes a range of waterfalls that cascade over a stretch of 4 kilometers into a gorge near the bottom of the valley's mountainous landscape. Situated at the Aoyama Plateau (Aoyama-Kogen) in the center of the Murou Akame Aoyama National Park, the waterfalls cover a distance of about 4km. Within this area there is a 3 hour walking course, which runs alongside the waterfalls. The rapids are spectacular during Autumn as they reflect the colours of the leaves. The 3 of 5 best falls, such as Fudo Fall, Senjyu Fall and Nunobiki Fall can be reached within an hour along the walkway. This walkway allows you to enjoy the many spectacular sights of the waterfalls as they flow into the gorge. These prices include entrance into the Japan‘s Salamanders Centre, which is situated at the entrance to the walk ways. The Akame 48 waterfalls are the habitats of the salamander, which is a special and protected species. People can see salamanders within Japan and overseas. 
The name Akame (Red eyes) was derived from a mythical folk tale about a legendary man named En no Ozunu, who while meditating in front of the waterfalls, reported to have seen Cetaka (A budda) emerge from the waterfalls riding a red eyed bull. Following that, this area came to be known as Akame (Red eyes).
