About this place
Akame Shijuhachi Taki is the collective name for a series of stepped waterfalls scattered over about 4 km of the Takigawa Valley, a tributary of the Uda River flowing through Akame-cho, Nabari, Mie Prefecture. It is one of the many "forty-eight waterfalls" (shijuhachi taki) that exist across Japan. The valley is called the Akame Shijuhachi Taki Valley. The Muro volcanic rock, composed of rhyolitic welded tuff, developed vertical joints (columnar joints and others) as it cooled, creating many steps in the riverbed.
