Why not try visiting Akiu Waterfall, just west of Miyagi,\u00a0where storms of water spill into a small gorge, the start of a turquoise river winding its way past classical Japanese forests and giant boulders. Starting at the top of the valley where we parked our car &#8211; there is also a bus &#8211; we meandered through the miniature gardens of a small Shinto shrine, towering\u00a0trees creaking overhead. Here, you can swap a 100 yen coin for an o<em>mamori<\/em>, or a traditional protective talisman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A few more steps led us to the beginning of a small hike in Miyagi to reach Akiu Waterfall. Wooden steps dug into the side of the mountain trace up and down for about 15 minutes, pine needles softening our footfall, bamboo shoots poking through to greet us in the chill morning air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Carry on through the forest, and from the top of the hill, we saw the tarmac curling through the valley, also leading to our destination &#8211; a bridge arching directly over the falls &#8211; a pleasant and easy alternative for those who do not want to walk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Just past the bridge and to the left, we found a little dirt path leading directly to the falls! Steam from the river rose past us, drowning us out as we neared the giant crater in the rock, hollowed out by centuries of the force of the water. Here, there is a little beach &#8211; you could bring a blanket or have a picnic to bask in the sunlight and the rainbows dotting the moisture in the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/akiu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7420 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/akiu.jpg\" alt=\"Waterfall view of Akiu Waterfall in Miyagi.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We peeled off our shoes and socks and stepped into the water. It is so cold that they immediately started to hurt but it is so crystal clear and clean that it was impossible to resist! You can hop onto little rocks poking out of the water and get close to the falls. In the summertime, Akiu Waterfall is amazing for a splash, as the river also gets a bit deeper as you move away from the waterfall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1534957_493216207537107_8800978038917524952_o.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7417 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1534957_493216207537107_8800978038917524952_o-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Akiu Waterfall in Miyagi.\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1534957_493216207537107_8800978038917524952_o-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1534957_493216207537107_8800978038917524952_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1534957_493216207537107_8800978038917524952_o.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our feet glowing and smarting from the ice-cold of the water, we put our shoes back on and clambered up the side of the waterfall, along a small cliff on the right. From here, you can look straight into the basin\u00a0from above, a fantastic view and imposing glimpse at the true force of nature. Unlike in places in Europe or America, where the crowds force authorities to set up ugly fences and barriers, here in Miyagi there is nothing man made, and as long as you are careful, you can peer over the edge of the cliff with no problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11057963_493216994203695_2943208003971894171_o.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7418 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11057963_493216994203695_2943208003971894171_o-375x500.jpg\" alt=\"Waterfall view of Akiu Waterfall in Miyagi.\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11057963_493216994203695_2943208003971894171_o-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11057963_493216994203695_2943208003971894171_o-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/11057963_493216994203695_2943208003971894171_o.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This 55 meter waterfall is truly spectacular in any season, but perhaps the most breathtaking would be in the summer or autumn, when the trees are less bare.
