Kirishima is a city located in the northeastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, and I don’t lie when I say this city is blessed with the scenic beauty of mountains, seas and rivers of the Kirishima mountain range extending to Kinko Bay. You don't believe me? Have a look yourself. Senrigataki Falls (千里ケ滝) is the largest drop of any of the falls in the Kirishima range, plunging the 75 meters in a rush of power during the summer when the water flow peaks. In the fall, the white strands of water falling through the autumn foliage is a stunning sight, too.

Senrigataki Falls
The largest drop of any of the falls in the Kirishima Range

Senrigataki Fall looks good and sounds eveb better.

The path we have to follow to see the waterfalls takes us through beautiful spots.

Among so many trees is difficult to have a clear view of the waterfall.

We are going deep into the forest and we are passing through several tunnels.

In the middle of the route we find a hydroelectric power plant.

Hydroelectric power plants near waterfalls can create huge amounts of energy.

Water crashing over the fall line is full of energy.
