About this place
Akame Forty-Eight Falls is the collective name for a series of stepped waterfalls scattered over about 4 km of the Takigawa gorge, a tributary of the Uda River, flowing through Akamecho, Nabari, Mie Prefecture. It is one of the many "forty-eight falls" found across Japan. The valley is called the Akame Forty-Eight Falls Gorge. The Muro volcanic rock, composed of rhyolitic welded tuff, developed vertical joints (such as columnar joints) when it cooled, creating many steps in the riverbed.
