About this place
Ogawa Falls (Japanese: 雄川の滝) is located in Minamiōsumi, Kagoshima, Japan, the town in the southern tip of the Osumi Peninsula. It is a 46-meter (151-foot) waterfall, 60 meters (197 feet) in extended width, in the midstream of the Ogawa River. Ogawa Falls had been relatively unknown until 2013 when Kagoshima Bank included its picture in the calendar for the annual free distribution to their customers. It is particularly known for the waterfall basin becoming beautiful emerald green when water is falling in regular, but not big amount.
