You can hear various birds around you.

I think you can enjoy a refreshing trek along the river, which is rare in hot Okinawa.

The waterfall has a lot of water and the sound of the water is powerful.

The trek takes about 40 minutes from the campground.

There are some ups and downs, so it is best to wear comfortable shoes.
