Yoshitaki Waterfalls
A waterfall of almost 30m in height which is formed on the rock wall of andesite upstream of the Yada River. It is also called as Urami-no-Taki (rear-view waterfall) because you can see the backside of the waterfall because the water head is protruded. Along the path leading to Yoshitaki, there is a spot for viewing Shimaji Oike pond below, which was formed at the bottom of the scarp caused by landslide separating the basalt in the upper part of the terraced rice paddies.

Guide Recommend
Rice terraces of Ueyama are rice fields using landslide landform in the mountains. Since the landslip land is a precious gentle slope, it has been valued by the people living in the mountains. The terraced rice paddies of arched patterns built conforming to the landform have been selected as one of the best 100 terraced rice paddies, because they are well harmonized with the surrounding landscape. It is the symbol landscape of Ojiro District which is a member of an association “Japan’s most beautiful village”. There are other attractions including Yoshitaki where the backside of a waterfall can be seen.
