About this place
Sekinoo Falls is a waterfall in Sekinoocho, Miyakonojo, Miyazaki Prefecture. One of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. It belongs to Mochioka-Sekinoo Prefectural Natural Park. A campground, cafe and others have been completed nearby and there is a parking lot, so a day trip is possible. It is on the Shonai River, a tributary of the Oyodo River. It consists of three falls, Otaki, Otoko-daki and Onna-daki (Otoko-daki and Onna-daki are artificial falls), and Otaki, about 40 m wide with a drop of 18 m, erodes the welded tuff of the Kakuto pyroclastic flow deposits erupted from the Kakuto caldera about 330,000-340,000 years ago.
