The path is barrier-free and there is a wheelchair to borrow: for a waterfall, that is rare.

The drop is twenty-eight to thirty metres and it does not fall cleanly: it comes down in tiers, like the steps of a staircase, over a rock that formed fifteen million years ago. From the car park you walk along the river to a pavilion from which you view it. The operator states that the route inside is barrier-free, and no source mentions steps.

A waterfall on the Todoroki River, in the hamlet of Sukuta in Nago, inside a park managed by the district. It is a Place of Scenic Beauty designated by Okinawa Prefecture.

ℹ️ Open 9:00–18:00, and 8:30–18:30 from 18 July to 30 September. ⚠️ The price conflicts between sources (200 yen for adults according to the tourism board and the OCVB, 300 according to the operator's old website, which no longer publishes it), so it needs to be checked on site. Forty parking spaces, coaches allowed. The barbecue costs two thousand yen per day.
