Todoroki Falls

We had a great time exploring Todoroki Falls with some friends last weekend. The falls were our furthest yet at about two hours southwest of us. We made a day of it with our former neighbors who have two boys that are five and six years old. Wilson and Leo idolize them and they had a ball hiking around and swimming with them at Todoroki.

Todoroki Falls were the most beautiful we have seen here. The falls looked as if they were out of a movie. The light hit the water and it was a beautiful turquoise green color. 

Just perfect.

There were lots of hiking trails at the park. They were much more built up and sturdy than a lot of the falls that we've been to.

There was a really cool suspension bridge that had amazing views of the mountains surrounding the falls.

A little downstream from the falls there was a swimming hole. Can you see the person swinging from the vine into the water? It looked really fun!

Here are the falls from a distance. It was pretty crowded there, but the Japanese weren't in the water. We later found out that Japanese people don't like swimming in really cold water because they don't think it's good for their heart. Nathan and the boys jumped in and said the water was cool but nice.

We had a really fun day at Todoroki Falls and will be back - it was definitely worth the long drive!
