Located in Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kogan Waterfall is an unmissable scenic spot for nature lovers and adventurers. The two waterfalls, a male waterfall with a height of about 80 meters and a female waterfall about 100 meters, show different expressions throughout the seasons. Especially in winter, the icefall created by the frozen waterfall attracts many tourists with its magical beauty.
Access to the waterfall is a bit of an adventure. From the parking lot, it's about 600 meters of undulating mountain path, making it a mini-trekking experience. Along the way, you can borrow the thoughtfully provided wooden walking sticks and feel nature as you advance.
A telephoto lens is essential to capture the entirety of the waterfall. Especially for the winter icefalls, a long focal length lens that can capture the details of the waterfall is recommended.
Kogan Waterfall is a hidden gem worth extending your visit. The appearance of the waterfalls, which changes with the seasons, lets you feel the mystery of nature firsthand. The effort of trekking will be rewarded the moment you see the stunning view of the waterfall. It is highly recommended for those who want to fully enjoy the great nature of Aso.
